xt660z spring rates?

Hi guys, just installed a new spring for the rear shock with a spring weight of 9kg, to suite a rider weight of 105 kg. The weights were worked out by a suspension tuner, for a mix of offroad day trips based on 100kg rider weight (me + riding gear) and touring every so often based on 130kg rider weight (me + riding gear + camping gear etc , with 105kg being a compromise to cover all my riding,however after I installed it I found i now have no static or rider sag based on the 105kg rider weight! The suspension tuner is a reputable company, have they messed up the weights? I don't think there's any binding in the shock/linkage bolts and i have the preload set at the softest position. It would be great to here what spring rate other Tenere's are running!
