    juicy, those are some crazy spring rates. Stock rear spring on my 300 was 5.4Kg, I replaced it with 5.0Kg because I weigh @ 80Kg ready to ride. You can calculate proper spring rates on the RaceTech site, but I think the err on they stiff side.

    Yeah thats what i thought, maybe the wp spring labled 7nm reacts differently.
    Im 80kg with gear on and 2 full english brekfasts in me +nag full of spares.
    So 5kg spring is your sag &4"?

    Weights of PDS(linkless) springs r calculated diff(higher) than linkage if it's off an exc.

    Yes, with 5Kg spring on the 300 and @ 8mm of preload I get @ 40mm static/105mm rider sag, 165 seems to want less preload or maybe less spring, so maybe 360 needs more spring ??
    This weekend I'm swapping a Yammy Ti spring onto the 300. I think it's a stock spring from a yz250, so according to Yammy it's 4.8Kg. It weighs at least 1/2 as much as the stock spring, but seemed to be too much spring for the 165.

    So these are the linkages from the WR360s back end although they look standard i have no way of knowing

    Heres the shock,a lot of pre load yet still soft,even when the pre load was completely removed it did not alter the length of he shock ,as i suspected.Is it possible to change the spring to one for my weight that would be shorter,also if i put on a shorter spring,will this reduce the shock length, or will it remain the same

    Read my thread about eye to eye length of the linkage that will tell you if its std or not.
    Yes you can get stiffer springs as for shorter probably.
    Adjusting preload is all well and good if the springs the correct rate.
