Sorry to disappoint, but K-tech and MCT only recommend linear rate springs.

Getting springs appropriate for your weight/load and riding style makes a vast improvement.

Internal friction points will wear and become smoother. A brand new bore will still be covered in honing marks over which the piston rings have to slide. Gear teeth won't mesh and slide apart as they turn as smoothly as when they have worn a bit. Modern engines however are manufactured to much finer tolerances than engines of yore. Even in the early 70's you risked seizing a new engine if you got it too hot before it was run in. The 600 mile oil change is about dropping the initial oil out which is full of microscopic metal particles front the relatively rough components after machining. I've no idea how a car can come out of the factory and not get an oil change until 18000 miles later.

It was fleet companies that leased cars that did not want the 600 mile service and most will not pay for brake fluid change every two years. Its all down to total cost of ownership. If bikes were leased in the same numbers as cars, service intervals would double overnight.

Each to their own.. I always used these when I was racing.... TBH I've worked with them for years... you won't find a better spring made to you exact spec... and not a bought off the shelf, one size fit's all
