ama146 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would really prefer a local shop near the Akron/Cleveland area. My bike is set up for 200lbs with gear and I am closer to 165lbs with gear, so I figured I might as well get them resprung over winter.Also, would you say I should buy the correct springs by myself and just get them installed? Or let the shop or whoever I send them off to get the correct springs for me?One last question. Does valving in the forks have anything to do with weight? Do I need to start thinking about getting them revalved as well? Or do valves have nothing to do with rider weight.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is OEM stuff, springs will help, but getting a fork kit and a new shock are really going to be the ticket. If street riding, I'd say stick with springs, I guess...If track riding, you owe it to yourself to do suspension first before anything else.My suggestion is Reuben at 35 Motorsports (sponsor on here) as he does a good number of members' bikes on here.

TwiztedRabbit Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 psst Brian..... i beat you to it haha ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sorry I should have clarified. The bike is a 06 R6 with Ohlins TTX shock and as far as I know stock forks. Possible re-valved. I am doing strictly track riding/racing as this is a track bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
