September 26, 20205 yr My body weight (<135lb) is too light for the standard setup and sure enough, I can't set static and riding sags correctly. There is an OEM part for a softer rear shock coil but it costs more than $300? and there is no OEM fork springs for lighter or heavier riders. I wonder if there are other sources that are selling third party parts. Not sure how critical to have correct springs for beginners, but >$300 seems a bit too much... Your help would be appreciate.
September 26, 20205 yr Jitsie sells aftermarket Tech fork springs and Ohlins shock springs. Lightest springs available are still for a 80kg/176lbs rider though. https://www.jitsie.com/en/front-fork-springs/51252-spring-for-tech-front-fork-aluminium-39mm.html https://www.jitsie.com/en/rear-shock-springs/51248-spring-for-ohlins-rear-shock-absorber.html
September 26, 20205 yr See if you can find a spring maker in your area, I had a pair of fork springs made a few years back and it didn't cost much I think it was £35.

This is exactly what I needed. According to the manual, 80N/mm is the standard for the rear shock and the 75N/mm one is for 55-70kg. So, I guess Jitsie site is wrong. I have to find out if Jitsie would ship it to US, though. Edit: I found a Jitsie dealer in US. Thanks!! Edited September 26, 20205 yr by Sum
September 27, 20205 yr Did you buy your bike from a new Gas Gas dealer who isn't really a trials shop?
