I'm 5'6, 127 lb.
I need to source some softer springs for my 1098.
Where can I get them ?
Any online vendors here that sell them?
What spring rate should I get in terms of kg/mm or lbs ???
Thx
PS, I found the stock springs are too stiff for me to set up the bike !?!

Do you have an "S" (Ohlins) or a base (Showa)?

I just can reccomend for the 1098 different springs and to get the original steering damper out.

Why taking out the oem steering damper out?
Its way to soft?!?
What brand do u replace it with?

 

[Franken]

I take damper out because the original is already w/o any function on mine, and this "quality" OEM damper is getting replaced with one that is more worth then this original joke. A Matris M4R is getting in installed with the 18 point adjustment. I even don't take the warranty as I don't want this one again on my bike.
