Hi there,
I'am currently installing a Hyperpro kit on myST1300. The instructions manual says that the progressive side of the rearspring (usually) needs to be on top. However, in my case the lower (non-progressive) side of the spring will than not fit over de bushing of the steel springseat at the bottom of the shock. If I turn the spring upside-down (progressive side down), it fits perfectly over the bushing of the spring seat. However, I am almost 99,9% convinced that this is not the proper set-uup. I think it is just a matter of removing some paint from the inner-side of the spring. So my question is if the progressive side of the spring needs to be on top. I already adressed the issue with Hyperpro yesterday, but will not get a response from them probably later this week. I am in somewhat of a hurry to put the bike back together again, so I'am hoping on a response from here. Regards. Rene.
