Rear Spring rate for 155 lbs/70 kg?

[bergerhag]

Setting up the 2010 300 for the buyer, have access to 48, 50 and 54 rear spring. Thinking the 50 might be a ballpark choice. Correct?

Front will be the stock .42's.

Affirmative. I'm 75kgs nude and closer to 90-100kgs kitted. I run a 5.4 rate spring. If the 70kg rider is in gear the 5.0 rate spring is best that you listed. I also run .46 springs but thats with TTX. The stockers should be fine depending on the damping.

No, 70 kg in the flesh.

I'm 72kg without gear. I have a .48 on the rear of my 07. This is sachs shock, zoke 45 front. I find it well balanced with the stock front (.42?)
I don't do any motocross type jumping - mostly single track type stuff or open farmland riding. I find it works great for me, and would not go back to the stock .52.

Thanks for your replies. I have set it up with a 50, we'll see how that works out.
