2002 GSXR1000 rear shock spring rates

[Reinhoud]

Gents,

 

I've got a Frankenstein bike.

GS1000 with a Bandit 1200 swing arm incl. linkage. I bought a 2002 GSXR1000 rear shock for it.

Rear suspension travel is 13cm, when I sit on it it drops about 6cm, with the spring set it it's tightest.  Now I need a stiffer spring.

 

Does anyone know what the sprin rate is for the stock spring? I've read somewhere it's 77N/mm, no clue if this is right.

I weigh about 96kg, should one step up be ok?

 

Thanks

Here’s another way to check, but you should still calculate if to see if it has been changed.
