[QUOTE="James, post: 118984, member: 2"] Why does your back hurt, is your suspension bottoming out? Going from 0.392 to .46 is a pretty decent jump to the stiffer side. According to Race Tech a .392 is meant for a 110 lbs person. :shocked: Don't know what your skill level is but once you get into the B (or higher) level you'll typically want a harder suspension. If my choices were .45 or .46 I'd go with .46 Unless your race/static sag is within spec I'd also replace the rear shock. Race Tech is actually saying that you need to go 0.1 softer on the rear shock. One last thing, call up your local suspension guys and ask if they have those springs used. Around here they sell the used ones for $50. Just remembered one other thing, make sure that you bleed the forks before every ride. I also do it again when I have it back on the stand in the garage.
