Hi chaps, my recently aquired Sherco 290, 2001 is fitted with a Yellow rear shock spring and i just wonder what its rating may be and what other colour spring ratings are please. Seems to 'bottom out' when i bounce on the pegs !

I weigh 13 Stones or 82 kg's. Thank you for any help. D.

Even though I recall seeing a few heavy springs around for that bike back in the day, good luck finding one now. I would not worry too much really, even if you are not a 72 kilo spanish youth, the things work ok off the jounce rubber if it is in good shape. There have been many a heavier rider on stock springs, yet you may contact Chris at Splatshop.co.uk just to see if he has any alternatives short of a custom job.
