hello, i have posted before about my rear suspension being too hard for me as i am so light (57kg in kit), so i am looking at getting a new spring for my bike from demon tweeks;
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorcycl ... ce-springs
there is a massive selection here so does anybody know or could measure a spare sring for the free length and internal diameter as i use my bike everyday as it is my only transport so i would rather not have to strip it apart to measure if someone knows the dimensions, also do any of you know what the rate of the standard spring is. many thanks

I have got my spring off at the minute to have it powder coated, when I get it back I can give it a measure for you.

Hopefully getting it back in next couple of days.

Are they the only dimensions you need?

thanks mate, yeah just internal diameter and spring free length as i cant find either in the manual, apart from that the only thing is what rate i want but i'll need to speak to some people about that one, unless someone knows what the standard spring rate is so i can go a couple lower or if there is maths to work it out? thanks

Morning, I make the spring to be 55mm I/S dia and 210mm in length.

Hope this helps you.
