Front Fork spring position

(1/2) > >>

Piki:
Hello, what position is the correct for the front fork spring of my 550 K3? Tight coils up or down?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
     Do not know about your machine, but my 400/4 Hagon progressive springs are closer coils down.-Ken

SteveD CB500K0:
That makes sense Ken.

Tighter coils = stiffer spring, so you'd want the ratio to tighten up as you compress the forks (eg under heavy braking) whilst being softer for normal use.

Thank you mates,the tight spring coils was on the Top.... I have put it on the bottom now.
Best Regards.
