Here is what RaceTech is telling me... don't know enough to know if it is a big enough difference to spend much money on or not....
FRONT FORK SPRINGS
Recommended Fork Spring Rate: 0.98 kg/mm (use closest available)
Stock Fork Spring Rate: .900 kg/mm(stock)
REAR SHOCK SPRINGS...
Yup. Everything comes out of pocket now :( That's what I would like is to find some better aftermarket parts for about the same price if I can... so far lowest factory price is about $380/ea for each fork and the wheel.
Thanks for the link to StadiumYamaha.com.... cheapest factory parts so far. :thumbup: Don't have full coverage insurance on the bike due to crappy driving record, cheaper to fix the bike myself :rolleyes: :wtfgun: (full coverage quoted at at $3500-$4500/yr)
Couldn't find anything on eBay except a set of chromies... which I'm not really interested in lol. Did look up BikeBandit.com and found new factory parts for about $100/ea. less than dealer... Haven't had any luck finding junk yards but haven't spent a lot of time on that yet.

Has anyone else run these tires with more than 5k miles? I need to replace mine and these are one of the ones that I am looking at... along with the BT-023 and the Dunlop Roadsmart II... I need something that sticks in tha rain and down to about 10 degrees but also would like close to 10k out of...
Cageless in Florida? Must be nice :) Been cageless in Pennsylvania for almost two years and luvin' it!! Do have the fiance's car if there's snow laying on the road, so that's helpful sometimes.
I have a 25min commute one way, rode last winter and so far this winter most days due to it being my only transportation except the fiance's car... lowest I've hit is 22°F, don't think I would want to go below 20° with my current gear (i.e. jeans and a couple jackets
:/ )
