The spring rates are all different, so we'll need to see what would be best for you. I'll do some more shop days, but right now I'm back logged 3-4 weeks so it will hav eto wait till March or so.

Black, if you're like me you'll want a bit stiffer setup. My XR will serve triple duty...dirt/street/track. I am a fat ass so I run heavy springs (about as heavy as you can get with stock valving). I had Pete do my suspension (so he's at least experienced 1 XR650 before...lol) and we went with 7.5wt oil and .49kg up front and 11kg in the rear. I opted not to re-valve at this point but it may need to be done yet. Check my "Winter Woes" post out for pics!
