Title: Stock Fork Spring Rate for a '01 750D??
Post by: Skyshadow on January 13, 2012, 02:34:50 PM
Anyone know what it is? the RaceTech calculator said I need 0.850 but I'm curious how much mine is now cause it's super squishy. Would like to know the difference before I drop $109

.85 works great if you're in the 180 lb range without gear.

The stock springs are dual-rate, something like 0.6/0.8, crossover is at about half-travel.

Make sure which forks you have, Marzocchi or Showa. I ran into a problem when I bought new springs for my '00 M750. Racetech was great about making it right tho. :)

I have an S2R 800. The stock springs from an S4 are about that value. They will work perfect for your bike and you can get them for pretty cheap.

You Should have showa. I believe Marzocchi's didnt rear their ugly head until the 695 / S2R era. 620's 750's and 900's all had showa from what I remember.

Your '01 750 came out ff the factory with non adjustable Showas.  To confirm they will say Showa on the inside of the fork leg.
