    Hi Folks and a Happy New Year to all

    I have just order new K-tec internals and valves for my front forks
    and a new K-Tec rear Spring for the rear shock.

    My questions is......
    The new rear spring is 52/57-175-115

    Does anyone know the standard weight rating of the standard rear shock spring on a 2011 blade.


    Thanks in advance

    Jay

    What weight are you mate?

    That spring is more suited for a 16 stone + rider.

    I'll be running a 110 rear spring on the track bike and will be 16 -16 1/2 stone with gear on.

    Another value for money upgrade would be to get a 2012/15 shock so much smoother and combined with the right Spring would be a massive upgrade
