250-500cc Spring Questions

I have a question for the suspension experts or anyone with a valid argument. When I go to the race tech website to find the correct spring rate for me and my new WR250 there are choices based on riding skill (after weight and bike spec). What I cannot get my head around is how can two different spring rates still have the same sag. If the spring is to heavy and you set the race sag your static sag will be to small and vice versa with too soft of a spring. With the stock springs my sag is right in spec but based on race tech I need stiffer springs what do I do

Sit down vs. Stand up puts the weight in a different spot on the bike. When you measure sag, be sure you are in riding gear and in your normal riding stance.

Things like an oversized tank affects the weight distribution as well, requiring heavier fork springs.

What do you weigh? And riding style? If things feel good as is, and you've read Vinduro's setup thread (I think it's stickied somewhere). Then don't worry about it.

As a data point, I'm 195lbs neked, race B-class enduro/harescrambles, stock tank, and run 48/5.8. It's the reco I got from Racetech, and I find their reco usually suits me well.

Don't forget that with a heavier spring, you will need less preload to achieve your rider sag, so your static sag will be less and could still be within the acceptable range.
