I got the .46's too and I go 2 bills+ with all my gear on. The guy(forget his name) told me to leave the rear alone. I ride mostly single track with not much air so that could be why he told me that. After the whoopfest I went thru last weekend I was thinking of getting a stiffer rear. What size spring did they recommend for you?
I chose the 6.2kg/mm spring because as I make my mods to the motor and get faster on the bike, I think I'll be grabbing a bit more air so the extra spring weight will help.

John at Moto Pro will be glad to hook you up. The process is downright easy.
I spent less than 15 minutes riding on the new fork springs today and the difference is major.
I'm making do with the stocker spring in the back even though I have the heavier spring in the garage. I figure I'll hold off on installing it until I do the other mods I have planned since I'll have the bike apart, anyway.

Goooooood food
While Oki does have some good chow (I did schwab and futenma), MAD props to the Meat Cove Chowder House in Nova Scotia for some bangin' poutine and fish chowder... it is a bit of ride to get there, but welllllll worth it!

Oh, big ups to John at Moto Pro.... he hooked me up. Which is what I meant to say before being distracted by food.
