Rear Spring

Chaotic said:

I mentioned it in another thread, but bodyweight has little to do with what springs you need on your bike. Sure, if you know absolutely nothing about your setup or riding or anything like that, changing springs can help you get a better static sag.

But what truly matters is the way the bike handles and acts on track. What is truly important is the dynamic geometry...and bodyweight has little to do with that. Like I said in the other thread, a buddy of mine weighs 135lbs (61kg) and his bike is sprung for somebody that weighs 225lbs (102kg).

My bikes are way oversprung for my weight also. I actually have the stiffest rear spring on the TTX that Ohlins offers.

I believe you will find that stiff rear spring to be a issue if it's on the Panigale .
The bike does not not like being over sprung in fact I have found going down in what would be considered " normal " is what tends to work better for me anyway .
Try it see what you think but make sure you carry a few spare rear springs fortunately to swap them out is quick and easy .

What has been your experience on the fork springs? Same scenario or do you run them stiffer?
