    Hello all,

    I have a very low mileage '04 VFR 800. While I would love to do some of the fancier Jamie D suspension upgrades (I am 6'2"/225 lbs), other priorities exist and the moment and I'd like to stay married. My question is whether for the time being I could install a stiffer spring more appropriate for my weight? I am not a super-aggressive rider - mostly sport touring and and some fast twisties. I understand that this would be less than optimal but would I see an improvement?

    Appreciate the help.

    Contact Race tech for the spring
    Proper spring would help if that all you can afford.
