Does anyone have fork spring measurements for the stock Monster 1100 Showas ('09-10)?
Uncompressed length:
Inner diameter (mm):
Outer diameter (mm):
300mm
29.5mm
38.8mm
24 coil, 7 tight, 17 open
calculates out at around 0.47kg/mm, but once the closed section is compressed there's 7 coils less so it's around 0.67. from my notes on the 09 model I replaced springs on.

Thanks very much brad!! [thumbsup] I just replaced the rear Sachs with an Ohlins unit, and am looking at replacing the front springs with linear rate ones for track duty.
So now ducati are finally fitting soft springs to forks instead of to hard ,,,, thats good news
everything except sbk are too soft.
