If looking at firmer fork springs is it worth sticking with a dual rate spring? I sorta figure its redundant if your looking for performance.

Er. Sports tourers that is. Thanks spell check.

Ill go with the ignorance then Brett. My mate's are telling me that slower corners suit sports routers but I like your answer more.

My question being, is there a set of conditions where a softly sprung, prehistoric design, upright riding position and cross plyed motorcycle bike is at an advantage? (apart from on the Hume hwy)

Possibly. I have had the bike and my l's since late August and the have had theirs for over a year and are both far more experienced and far better riders. I wouldn't say the zzr wobbles everywhere, just everywhere its moving.

Went for a big ride yesterday that incorporated the Eildon-Jameson rd. I have a 2000 zzr250 and was with a couple of mates on their 600s (r6 and 675). These blokes are frequently impossible to stick with until the road becomes a bit dirty.
Once there is a little detritus on the road the zzr suddenly ...

Oh yeah and also where can you buy sonic springs or equivalent in Australia. Do I just have to overcome my fear of the internets and order em from the states?

Thanks for the reply guys. I had read that advice at some other places and I do intend to have a go. I think the springs may be pretty shot tho. I can almost bottom the out with a duff-man style pelvic thrust.
My question was more about swapping forks for something more adjustable if it is possible.

Gday everyone. Have just got a zzr250 2001 with 7000kms to its name. I'm a reasonably fat so and so (95 to 105kgs depending on the season) and am finding the suspension too soft, especially the front. I am gonna keep the bike for a while so I'm wondering if you can swap the fork for something more ...
