Just brings up a blank page. Maybe you could put the info in for me and tell me what it says  ;D

Try this. Go here and enter you bike info and it will take you to the calculator I posted.

Okay it worked that time, Thanks Coop.

Okay it says The stock spring for my bike is  4.7 kg/mm. And it recommends a 5.28 kg/mm for me. Does that sound about right?

Yep. I did the spring calculator also on MX-Tec's site and it said stock was 4.7 and they recommended a 5.0, that was using 210, not sure what weight you used at Race Tech.

I don't add any weight for gear, and Racetech is on the stiff side. I use 210 for my base line and I fluctuate from 210-225 without gear.

Unlike some of my brothers here, I wear a lot of gear :D

Gear is important. I just got the nephew that lives here with us that rides the CR80 some of that armor that's a jacket style, with the chest, back, shoulders and elbow cups plus kidney belt. I wouldn't mind having one of those for myself now.

Haha yeah I don't agree with the theory that kids ride more reckless with gear.  :)
