Luke,
According to this thread: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,2078.25.html
the FZS swingarm pivot to wheel spindle is about 540mm
With the standard R6 standard shock spring with preload maxed my rear sag was 52mm
With a Faulkner's 600 lb/inch spring fitted & preload maxed my sag was 40mm - getting much closer
I've just ordered a Faulkners 650lb/ inch spring, which should hopefully be perfect for me
The R6 spring length is also a PITA at 6.5 inches long; the FZS600 spring is 7 inches, so it wouldn't fit without a major amount of preload being exerted. The Faulkner springs are only 6 inches long, hence I had to have a metal spacer fitted to the bottom of the shock to take up the slack
