That's interesting. I wasn't planning on upping the rear as according to moto-pro, the rear is sprung correctly for my weight. But you are suggesting that even that is a little soft.

Did you go straight to .44's?

My reason for the springs I chose.....I think moto's estimator is a little light for our bike, based upon riding another resprung klx.

Second, when I ride my adv I loan my klx to friends.....almost all of them weigh over 200 lbs.....but regardless I really like the heavier spring rate...perhaps it is my riding style.
