Yeah, I had a set of Falcons that had the wrong springs. They came with 50lb springs and I needed 60 lb springs. I asked for 60 lb springs to replace the 50s but none where available and didn't know when they would be. Again, I was offer some used 60s with just a little rust on them.....
I guess I'm just unlucky when it comes to trials shocks????
I think you're right about the leverage ratio thing. When I sent the shocks back I had to fill out this form that measured distances from the swingarm to axel, swingarm to shock pivot top and bottom, etc. Once WP recieved the form the guy that did the calcs admitted he didn't realize the 1983 Cota 242 where mounted so far up on the swing arm and said he thought they were mounted like a 247 hence he got the wrong ratio....
I'm outside the 30 day window by a long shot but I've been calling for q1uite a while about this and feel they should replace the incorrectly rated springs with the correct spring rate since the miscalcs are on them. It be nice to have new not used springs too given the cost and amount of time that is on my shocks (very little).
We'll see what they do. I told them they should do the right thing and replace them since the reason they don't ride right is because of theyre measurments. We'll see......
