2011 EC300 Sachs stock spring rates??
 

I feel like I have searched the internet for hours, but I cant seem to come up with anything...

Does anyone know for certain what the stock spring rates are in a 2011 EC300 with sachs suspension front and rear???

Also for a 180lbs A-class rider who typically likes to run a little stiffer what would you recommend??

Did you have a look in the user manual?

On page 35 it says:
Suspension spring
The standard spring is 5 SACHS; 5,2 ?HLINS

I cannot find anything about fron fork spring rate, though.
It's not listed in the parts manual either. But there, the spring rate of the Marzocchi fork is listed as "MUELLE K=4.2 / SPRING K=4.2"

I saw the rear spring that said 5, but I've also heard contradictory statements about that. I also didn't find anything at all in the manual about front spring rates.

You can measure the dimensions of the spring in order to determine the rate - and count number of coils. You can find calculators on-line...

I would do this regardless of what you find on the internet....

i seem to remember standard for spring being .42

@twowheels should be able to give an accurate answer

I'm trying to figure out what came stock in this bike. I already know the spring rates that are on my bike. The problem is I have super heavy springs in it for my fat butt. I just picked up a new 2018 so I'm trying to set this thing up close to stock or a 180lbs rider so I can keep it as a spare bike for my friends to ride.
