blackgsxr1000 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 After talking with yotaman, I have come to conclusion that when we replace my fork seals, I am also going to replace the Springs. Does any know of a cheap place to find some and what springs I should get for a 2005 GSXR 1000. I also way about 225lb with out gear. Thanks for the help...

yotaman88210 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 You should be good with ordering .95 You could call the pony or look on a few websites. Either way, its gonna be about $110 for the springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 http://old.racetech.com/evalving/SpringRateCalculation/dirtspring.asp?brand=Suzuki&yr=05-06&ml=GSX-R1000&formuse=form1&SpringType=Fork&bikeid=442Plug the numbers in and hit Calculate.According to Race Tech, you're already riding on .95's.

yotaman88210 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I thought the gsxrs stock came with .85s... But I could be wrong. I usually am haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 225 lbs with no gear and you guys think .95s??? I run 1.0s in mine and I am only 190...I'd say 1.0s in my opinion. Racetech's calculator is good as an idea and that's about it... May need a 1.05, but I'd try a 1.0 first. You can also mix and match to get a 1.025, etc...You should be able to find springs for $100 or around that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman88210 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I figured 95s would be alright for mostly street riding. meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I figured 95s would be alright for mostly street riding. mehi run .925's in mine and its pretty stiff for street applications. but im also a lightweight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Stock springs are more than likely dual rate springs and you'll never really get them dialed in right. Call someone like Rubin or a shop that specializes in suspensions to get a solid answer...not saying there aren't credible people on here though.

redkow97 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) www.sonicsprings.com - they'll be cheaper than racetech. I believe mine were about $80, and they have a spring-rate calculator that's pretty useful and accurate.Rich Desmond is either the owner, or the employee I dealt with. Good guy, and he'll help you with install questions, etc. Edited March 16, 2010 by redkow97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackgsxr1000 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks Redkow97 I was just looking at race techs and I really don't want to spend 100 bucks on springs. I was looking for another brand that was cheaper, sonic was the answer I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
