Default What fork springs are you guys using for your specific weight?

Title says it all. Curious as to what you guys are running.

I'm 185lbs naked and currently use .44 & 5.4 springs. I would like to try a 5.2 some time?

I am 190 naked. I just upgraded to .46F and 5.4S

I had a 5.2 rear and had to over tighten the pre-load to get the right sag.

I weight 87kg and use .42 forks and 5.2 shock.
Would like to try .4 in forks as its too stiff right now with wp cc forks. Rear with 5.4 is too harsh for me

You are my weight. You are WAY to heavy for .40 and you are too heavy for .42 and 5.2.

The harshness you are feeling is that your suspension is only working in the bottom part of the stroke. In order to get softer and more compliant you need to go stiffer.

A .42 and 5.2 is for someone under 175lbs with gear.

What springs would you recommend for FSE450 (WP43 forks)?
I'm around 100kg(220lbs) without gear.
0.49 or something even harder?
At the moment i have 5,4 at the back but considering changing it to 5,8.

I found this and believe it to be fairly accurate.

If the above chart is for Beta RR's 2017

Wouldn't you go up one step due to the fact that GasGas 2017 is about 10 -15 lbs heavier?

Just wondering because I need to decide between .48 or .50 front and 5.8 or 6.0 rear. I'm 235# (108kg) no gear
