NC30 Fork spings setup

[Spike16]

Hi been a while but does anyone know what the standard front spring weights are?

Im looking at stiffening up the front end of my vfr 400 road bike, its a pritty standard bike at the moment with some cbr600 calipers but il be raising the rear with a modified linkage to try and get the bike turning quicker and need to sort the front out as its diving far to far/fast much under braking etc for my liking.

Iv raced these 400's for a few years and know what I want they can feel like and mines a long way off that so just after a fast road setup, so what springs do people run and what fluid weight?

Cheers guys

Rick O's springs and fresh standard fluid, good fast setup and cheap!

how much and what spring weights are the replacements? are they linear or non linear springs? also whats stock oil 15w?

cheers

Rick supplies 0.90 kg/mm linear springs (Racetech brand I think) suitable for racing which will suit the majority of racers. Rick can also supply the oil and other goodies in a front spring kit.

If you weigh less than 75 kg (kitted up) you might want to contact him about other spring rates he supplies (0.85 kg/mm would be more suitable for that weight).

Rick's stock list in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=26174

Stock list doesn't list springs on their own but he will sell them to you, just ask.

Hope that helps.
