Default spring weight help

hi guys,

I weigh 185lb without gear, should I be looking at 9.0N springs?

Ive searched and found the racetech calculator but it wont work for whatever reason.

I would like the .orgs view before I order and take the salesman's view as gospel.

Thanks

9,0 might feel a bit too heavy, especially if you leave the stock rear spring.
i'm 200lbs and wish i'd gone for 8,5 as the preload dajusters are fully out
at correct sag (though it might be that i cut the spacers too long )

thanks,

I have the GSXR rear to go on as well so not leaving the rear stock.

I guess .85 is a big step up from the .65 or whatever is in there so I will see what they say on the phone today

I'm 175lb and have been advised .85 by the org's resident suspension guru.
