[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1352590, member: 329"] Back when I weighed about 210 GP Suspension recommended a 750-800 lb spring but I have ridden bikes with a Penske shock and a 850 lb spring that had very plush rides. I also rode a Penske with a 800 lb spring that had a extremely rough ride as did my Wilbers shock when I upgraded from a 650 to a 800 lb spring. Your problem probably is not the spring, its excess compression damping in the shock...which seems to be very common in Ohlins shocks since one (damping) size fits all. [/QUOTE]
