Spring rate

[scrambledKAT]

Can someone assist me in finding the stock spring rate for pre 98 750 forks? Or maybe, suggest a good spring rate for replacement? I am looking for a stiffer ride but still want the Katana comfort.

How much do you weigh?

Call Traxxion Dynamics or Racetech.

Order cartridge emulators while you're at it.

ALOT!!!!!!!!!!
210,
this isn't like a what are you wearing question is it???

Umm, no... But it is the biggest factor is what the proper weight springs are for your bike!

Just a guess, but I'd say you probably need .9 springs... The Kat's a heavy bike but doesn't have a tremendous amount of weight forward and the rake isn't extreme.

The OEM spring rate for the 98+ Kats is a variable (progressive) rate spring. I don't know what the actual rate is...

+1 on the RaceTech.com recommendation in the USA. For the UK, I can make a similar recommendation for an outfit there.
