September 20, 201213 yr I have an 06' Sherco 290 with stock springs. I know having an enduro bikes spring rate for your weight is very important but how important is it for a trials bike? I weigh 180lbs or about 80 kilos without gear. Should stock springs be good for me (a novice) or should I consider heavier springs? From other post it seams important to have front and rear compress at same rate and roughly about 1/3 rider sag. Is this correct? Thanks,
September 20, 201213 yr http://www.Gas Gas.c...nsion-tips.html Well worth a read... That damn link!!! Keeps on separating Gas Gas and capitalising the G's! Must of tried 10 times to post that.. Edited September 21, 201213 yr by tazz229
September 21, 201213 yr Heavy springs for these are like unobtanium, do not worry! You should be fine, although you may have a bit more load(race)sag than suggested. Set the static sag(weight of bike on wheels) as 10-20mm so you have a little float there and you should be fine. There are many better riders much heavier than you on stock springs.
