Is your static sag about 1/4 to 1/3 travel ?
The calculus of hate
It is not that I should win it is that you should lose
It is not that I succeed it is that you fail
It is not that I should live it is that you should die
I forget the actual measurement, but rest assured both front and rear have been set properly for my weight, for racing and for Loudon. Set by a Ducati master tech who takes special interest in suspension geometry and also is a Fishtail Riding School instructor and owns and rides a 1098 and 848.
I've added a factory issue Ohlins rear shock from an S model 1098 and an adjustable rear ride height rod. The front is all stock parts, additional fork oil added, fork tube flush with the stock triples.
The 30mm offset triples will make turn in much less effort and allow the bike to keep the chosen line exiting corners under throttle, which is the 848/1098/1198's weak spot. The Ohlins cartridges with correct spring rate will allow me to have more control in heavy braking zones and absorb the craters at Loudon without upsetting the chassis so much.
Next year a linear rear link will produce less squat under acceleration and the upgraded TTX Ohlins shock will work in concert with the rear link, whereas the factory S model Ohlins I have now is not much better than a factory Showa rear shock made for 2up riding.....

Guess you do learn something new everyday. Since when did Starbucks open up at the track!?
John, I can chime in here.
Mine came with 0.95 springs and I weigh 200 without gear.
I had to replace both forks with 1.0 springs.
Maybe you could get a 0.95 and 1.0 on each, so you'll get a 0.975 rate.
Either way, I have two 0.95 springs for 25mm cartridges in the garage if you need to swap and try them. It's easy to swap springs.
Call Jon at Advanced Traction he'll point you in the right direction
FWIW I run .90 @150lbs
Edit Just finished reading, you already pulled the trigger
