    Advice needed – I have a WR 450 09 model that I use for both enduro type riding and ADV riding with the pictured rally set up , the suspension is currently set up for Enduro riding , which while trail riding / play racing works rather well and has never caused me concern , however , when I have the rally set up on her and I ride trails as on the Last ADV ride to Woodstock carrying myself and associated gear , the suspension is quite challenged , mostly the rear spring is not up to the job , My weight is about 105 kg , in riding gear with bum bag on prolly more around the 120 mark , I only pack light on the WR ( I have a big KTM for pack horse duties ) so with a full load only another 5 kg would be there on the rack I have fitted since the photo .
    What spring rate would I need to support all this weight ( fuel load too , at 30 L Capacity ) so the rear would handle the load and not bottom every second bump . Fork spring rate for the same set up would be appreciated too . The other question is , does Teknik carry these springs and what am I up for for the set ?

    I probably will need to save up to get them , and I’d be a fool not to have my shock serviced at the same time so there’s a few more pineapples needed ;)
