Texas94fs,
From what I can tell the spring rate on the KYBs are 2.6 or 2.7kg. For your weight, if you were going to replace the springs, what spring rate would you go with to make them more compliant?
Around 2.2 is very good for 185lb with kit on the ZRX KYB's.
I contacted Racetech to find out what spring weight for the KYBs. They had me fill out a swingarm geometry form. Emailed it to them this afternoon. Hopefully I'll find out soon what they say.
I will. They needed my weight (170) plus many measurements of the bike. The form is for their G3-S custom shocks but the info from the form can be used to determine the right spring rate for the replacement KYB springs.
They needed it because of the the differences in the weight and geometry of the Scrambler vs the ZRX.
Sorry this took so long. Finally got the shocks on and have done a little testing.
They recommended 2.2 kg. My ole buddy Easy13 has 2.2 on his. I thought this may be a little to stiff for me. Wanted to get 2.0 but they dont have them. Went with 1.8 kg.
I have them a the highest preload setting (5). The sag on 4 was around 37mm. They bottomed out on 4. Have not checked the sag on 5 yet.
The ride is much better than the Hagon 2810's. Compliant with no jarring to the seat.
Both compression and rebound are set on 1.
Need to run up NC 181 for higher speed curves to see if I need to make any adjustments to them.
