I have a 2010 Concours 14 with the stock shock/spring ...which according to racetech's website is a 133 N/m spring and they recommend for a 160lb rider w/no gear a 131 N/m spring.
I currently have the shock preload set to "0" and the rebound dampening set to "0" and the bike is transmitting all the jolts and bumps to my poor lower back. :'(
I want to get an Ohlin's shock but want to get the correct spring.
Ideally, the shock/spring would be in it's sweet spot with the preload adjusted set to the middle so I could either go softer if I really want to baby my back or I could dial up more preload if I am carrying a rider or luggage.
I have seen people on this website with a 120 N/m spring and that is what I would consider getting from Ohlins...as I think a 130 N/m spring is just to close to the stock 133 N/m spring which is too firm.
Anybody have a 120 N/m spring who can tell me about their experiences with this?
thanks.
