anybody running race tech springs in their f4i? i've read about going with heavier fluid, throwing the whole front end in the trash and doing 929/954/1000rr and whatnot but i think i just want to go with some gangster springs for a hundred bucks. anybody have good results with this? i weigh 200lbs.

My bike has Race Tech heavy duty springs. I've never been happier on stoppies. I weigh 190 and it feels perfect for me.

if you build the f4i forks they'll feel just like if not better than an inverted setup.after all they are the same tubes size..inverts just look beefier..i got a 05 gsxr frontend for sale.. just need 954 triples...$450 shipped

stuntsteel

they feel a lot better and the oil weight does make a slight difference too...

I'm about to do the 1.0 springs in mine

customsound

i have the springs in my f4i and a heavier fluid seems and it works great watch goin with to heavy of a fluid though it will be to stiff and ride like ****

Danger_Dave

yeah i remember reading a gorka thread awhile back about "stoppie setup enough already" and since you can get the same results out of better springs, might as well. i know everybody just slaps a heavier front end on there but i also knew there had to be peeps on here running the stockers with just better springs.

Danger_Dave

yeah i was thinking the same thing about the fluid. its gotta be designed for a certain weight fluid for a reason. just like motor oil. im gonna stick with the stock fluid.

Danger_Dave

are those made by racetech? i only seen 1 type on there website. they are the only ones i know of that make springs besides maybe 2 brothers i know they make springs for fiddys.

punishmentcycle

racetech,hyperpro,ohlins all make springs. just get the 1.0 or 1.2 springs and run the honda pro 10wt.youll love it...or buy my gsxr frontend

nags

I'm gonna do the 1.0's with 15w

-SKETCHY-

nags

how do you know what springs to get? I had emailed them once and they gave me a size in kilograms I think....... I cant remember....

-SKETCHY-

go to thier website. They have a section to enter your weight and to select either street or race springs and it will give you the right rate of fork/shock spring to put in it. As far as stunting goes, I may give them a call tomorrow and see what they recomend for stoppies. springs, valving, ect.

nags

Let me know what they say

roadsurfr7

wouldnt you want them setup different since all the weight is gonna be on the front wheel? like harder springs than what you would normally use for whatever body weight you are?

punishmentcycle

you also have to remember that the stiffer springs you put in the less dive the frontend will have.personally i use my body weight alot when i do stoppies so i just put 10wt oil in my 954 frontend and love it to death.if the front doesnt dive ur gonna lock that front tire up.i would go with Nags thoughts but id use the 10wt
