2006 WR450 lowering link require heavier spring?

Darryl rides a WR450F (2006) and asks "I weigh 72 KG (approximately 80 KG with all my gear on) I am 5 foot 8 inches tall (171 cm). What spring tension should I set my bike to? Do I need to replace the spring?"


Our reply: You may be able to set race sag at approx 94mm and still have enough free sag with the stock spring, but to get perfect handling I recommend a 5.5 kg/mm rear spring or closest rate. Then you have the option to set sag from 94 to 100mm.
