Hi fans.
I got my 2010 750 DD last June, and put 14,000km on the clock in a couple of months of summer and fall riding. Beat the pants off the vstrom I was road riding previously..

This winter the sliders, akropovics, and K&N air filter got fitted. First ride of the year was a 900 km blast up the canyon and back. I have to say that I think the pipes went a long way to fixing the "fueling" problems - the stutter when riding no load and city speeds. And they are definitely worth the sound and performance increase! Love it!

Oh yes, to the point: MY QUESTION:
What are the stock spring rates on the shock and fork?
It took me quite a while to "optimize" the stock suspension, but I am sure that it is still undersprung for my butt. I have almost zero static sag because I've had to preload the spring A LOT to make the dynamic sag correct (~25 - 30% of the total travel as I understand it).

NEXT: Where do I find heavier springs for it?

Thanks!

I can get you stock spring measurements, but I do not know the spring rates...Sorry

I got my Hyperpro spring from AF1. They are a game changer for me!!!

I called ractech, and cannon when I was looking and got bumk answers. If you are looking for linear not progressive spring call Traxxion dynamics they will custom wind you spring for very reasonable and are very helpful people. They just finish the springs fro my SXV.

Good luck!

Thanks!
I guess I'll go crank the pre-loads some more.
