I installed a Sachs shock from a '16 Tuono with a Hypercoil 6" 675lbs/inch spring. Much better ride than stock but my preload is maxxed (about 17mm compressed from the 150mm total free length). I ran it like this with full camping gear and other kit with a measured static sag of 65mm, 35mm free sag. With my normal commuting gear the Static is 42, Free is 15mm. I weigh about 140.
I'd like to bring my preload adjustment range into the 5-10mm range, what spring rate should I go to? 750lb/inch, 800lb/inch?
I've been running 1 1/4 out compression damping, 16 out (down) rebound. I also installed 25mm jack up links to raise the rear back up. This does not correct the drop from the Sachs completely, but with the jacking links the difference from stock is only 7mm shorter (measured uncompressed on centerstand)
