Does anyone know the factory rear spring rate for the 1190rx?

I'm 150# with gear on and I just can't take enough preload out of the rear spring. I've found a few of the factory Showa springs, but not sure of the rate I should get- 550, 575, or 600.

Thanks!

Are you having problems with the stock spring rate?

It should be ideal for your weight unless you are running slicks and tracking the bike 100% of the time.

I should add that the stock spring rate is about the equivalent of about a 550.

Yeah, it's primarily ridden on the track. I can't seem to get enough sag in the back. Even on the lowest setting, the bike only drops about 8-10mm.

I was hoping one of the factory spring replacements was a lower rate than stock. But if the factory rate is 550lb spring, I might have to go to racetech and get a custom one.
