The spring rate is shown on the outside of the spring.
Smaller weight differences can be compensated by
changing the spring preload.
Finishing work
– Install the shock absorber. ( p. 68)
– Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( p. 57)
– Check the static sag of the shock absorber. ( p. 51)

12.11 Checking the basic setting of the fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the fork.
401000-01
– As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the rider's
weight can be compensated by the spring preload.
– However, if the fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on com-
pression), harder springs must be fit to avoid damage to the
fork and frame.
