Hi all

Looking to stiffen up my front forks on my 19 Factory, does anyone  know of where I could get hold of a stiffer spring ?

The aftermarket one is out of stock everywhere and apparently there isn’t anyone making them. 

Also would using thicker oil help if so what weight could I go up to ? 

Thanks in advance for your help !

 You got to be pretty big to need stiffer front. So did you already get a heavier rear?

Possibly the world biggest trials rider 6 ft 8”, 17 stone. 

Already got a stiffer spring on the rear already but still find it too soft, just ordered an Ohlins set up for my size. 

 My little boy is 6` 5`` and 230. But, you are above average! I take it you are not in the states?

Negative, in the UK

 With all the  Beta's in the UK you would think someone might have one. I tried a stiffer one and it was just too harsh.

Just serviced my forks Can someone tell me how much fork oil goes in each fork ?

If the UK importer can’t help you you might be stuck having a custom spring wound.

There appear to be four different spring rates above stock available from Beta.

I’ve just rebuilt my front forks with new fork seals , I’m now finding the forks very soft they don’t bottom out but they’re not far off ,I’ve used belray 7.5 and I followed the guide of 60 ml air gap in the damper side and 120 spring side , my question is can I just unscrew the top caps and add more oil to stiffen them up?
