SPRING RATES
« on: July 25, 2008, 03:43:19 pm »
Hello boffins, Yamaha quotes figures like K=3.75 for their spring rates, what is K?? is it KG/mm N/mm?? anyone??

3.7 KG per CM   or approx 37N per mm  to keep it simple     ( 9.81m per sec square)
For Your spring Yamaha should state K1 value and K2 Value
