January 26, 20215 yr Hi, im looking to fit some stiffer front springs to my 2012 Txt 300 Pro. I’m roughly 92kg in riding gear and finding finding I’m bottoming the forks out a lot. I’m struggling to find any. Could someone point me in the right direction? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
January 26, 20215 yr Im surprised you need heavier, id say im about 90 kg and never bottomed them, then went to the techs and they are softer. Maybe the latter are more progressive. Anyways, jitsie used to make them, although don't list them on their site anymore. https://www.thehellteam.com/40mm-marzochhi-heavy-spring.html Heres a link showing what they used to be, but sold out on this site. Maybe worth contacting jitsie
January 27, 20215 yr If you can't source any search for spring winders, most will make one offs to a specified rate. I think it cost me £35 last time and I had to post them an old spring so they could check the dimensions. Also check your current spring, the rate might not be the problem it might have compressed below spec or it might have cracked.

Maybe worth contacting jitsie Yes we have been trying to source these for some time. Off Road Action (Jitsie) used to stock them but haven't had anything for well over 18 months now. Probably can't see that supply returning.
January 27, 20215 yr Author Thanks for taking the time to reply guys. I contacted Jitsie today via email and they came back pretty quickly ”we have these in development and expect to have them ready in around 6 weeks time” --- Best regards, Jordi Nelissen | Jitsie support | www.jitsie.com
January 27, 20215 yr Author I need to strip mine down and change the oil to begin with, also trying to source a rear shock. Reiger have some reconditioned used stick which they will spring to my weight for 350.00 euros. I didn’t think that was a bad price
