I've installed hyperpro springs. Whats your set-up? With progressive springs? do you need less compression than normal. Seems if you had to much you would start to "pack up the spring fast" before you went to total possible travel. Any tuning tips would be welcome.
thanks.

There are instructions that came with the springs that also require the use of Hyperpro fork oil with a different oil level than the stock specification.
The Buell spring is straight rate or possibly a dual rate and therefore uses a higher oil level to attain progressiveness.
The Hyperpro instructions say to set the fork oil level at 140mm
The Buell service manual says 118mm
You want to use the Hyperpro springs with the Hyperpro oil and spec.

Talk to Doug Cameron at Annitori Distributing/Micron North America/Hyperpro USA and he will be glad to help with any questions. Make sure you tell him I sent you, great guy.


I don't know of anyone here other than myself that uses the Hyperpro suspension shock/springs but I am very impressed with them - both ends. Really nice stuff.

If you don't have the instructions PM me and I'll dig them up and scan them to you.
