ST4S Fork Springs??
Does anyone have a list of available fork springs? I have put a heavier spring on the rear but the front is on the soft side? I am not sure what spring loads are available for the folks?

John;
Contact the folks at Traxxion Dynamics - they can help with specing the best spring for you, selling springs, tools, or they can do it for you for a modest cost.
Getting both the front and the back in sync really makes a huge difference in handling performance. Don't ask me how I know.....

I agree!! The front is bottoming out under heavy breaking! The forks on the st2 seem to be better setup and I haven't done anything on them.

Guys, John lives in North Wales UK.
Traxxion and Cogent are possibly just a trifle too far when we have our very own Maxton Suspension home page over here.
Similar sort of setup, similar sort of expertise.

You could also try Your one stop perfomance shop
I am in email contact with them for another set of Race Tech Valves for the new bike and you can discuss spring options with them.
Apolgies for Cogent , I have previously traded with them , but the shipping and import costs make that prohibitive if a UK dealer is available.
