    In case anyone had troubles with front suspension, more exactly with too soft front, hope it help a bit: Springs are 0.15 mm thicker material, 9mm longer and compare to original rate (on collected information is 9.3N/mm), they should be 10.5N/mm, in general, the shape and dimensions are same as original spring.
    Link from Ohlins springs I put in this year, are here; https://www.ohlins.com/product-item/52859/
    Info is my front still "diving" under my, or I find it good, I will add during the season, for compare, my weight (with gear) 120+kg, and driving style left only 6mm from "bottoming out" and belive my, I used every trick I gold find. From here on, all original again, no tricks, so fingers crosse :D and lets see is there any improvement (motorcycle spring calculators show 11n/mm but I'm afraid, riding style dictate it up to 12N/mm or even more).

    Thanks for the information.
    Have you done anything with the rear shock too, or just new fork springs?

    Im 100kg with gear, run Maxton modified forks, 10.5nm linear springs with 80mm Air gap. Its all good. Also uprated rear shock with adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping. The rear has a stronger spring, but I'm not sure what that is.
