I've picked up an 05' FE650 and want to swap springs front and rear with the motard.
FS is stock and I was going to use the 88-250 and the 4,8 fork springs in the FE.
I was going to respring the FS for my weight anyway, and if the fork springs are the same length it should be real close to ideal.
The FE has the preload really cranked up. Static sag is 25mm race sag with gear is 111mm.
It's a 80-250 spring, And I'm sure the forks are untouched (4,2 springs)
I'm 195 pounds (88 kg) with gear 220 pounds (100kg) riding on paved, and dirt roads, single track and gnarly rocky trails at times. bike at a good clip, but still learning.
I think the FS springs will get me real close. What say ye?
Thanks
