Very unscientific video showing how undersprung the DRZ is for heavier riders, stock. There should be about 3-4” of sag with a fully geared-up rider aboard. Looks like I’m well beyond that, even in lightweight clothes in which I would never ride.

With full trail gear I’d easily go 240lbs (my Tech 7 boots, alone, weigh 9lbs, and I often carry a hydration pack in addition to armor, helmet, maybe knee braces, etc.).

I’ve ordered appropriate weight springs from RaceTech, front and rear.

Update: I posted a video with the new springs here: youtu.be/50igvEN7JYM
