My FZX250

Ta muchly for that spring article, I now know more than I did before reading it. Which is always a good thing.

Can someone with appropriate wisdom tell me how a progressive spring, as opposed to a stiffer spring, will help?

I'm guessing here, but presumably a 'progressive' spring is one that has some type of differential winding between coils that effectively varies the resistance at different compression levels, so that you can have small bumps soaked up quietly while still having big bumps run into a meaty spring midrange that doesn't bottom out.

Now *that's* what I be after, oh yes!

You've got it - comfy highway ride, plus good control over big bumps, and less sideways spring deflection at high lean angles.

Right.

I'm 'aving one. [Edit: well, two.]
