Can anyone with Hyperpro springs advise on the setup? I know the Hyperpro comes with a manual, but I don't have that.
First time I had them installed, I set everything to very hard. It was barely ridable. Then I set it back to stock settings which is preload of 5 on the rear spring; Kawa recommends that for a 68kg rider so I should really use 6 for my 80kgs. But... it was still way too hard. Then I read some forums which recommended a setting of 1 or 2.
Just did a ride on 2 with medium rebound and seemed OK but still not "great".
Is the Hyperpro way harder than the stock spring? What's the correct setting for 80kgs? Does anyone have the manual?
So far I am somewhat unhappy with the new setup - it seems better in some situations, but worse in others...
I guess I'll have to figure out the front preload / dampening too. Front is rock hard which is great for braking but not so good for rough roads. But it's not as big an issue as the rear at the moment so I've more or less ignored it.
Kawasaki CM is obviously clueless about setting up the Hyperpro so they're no help.
Note I didn't get the full rear shock, only the spring. It's not a lowering spring, at least it shouldn't be one.
