Hi all. Anyone fitted the splat shop 15% uprated rear spring to a Sachs rear shock on a gasgas txt pro 2012 250cc? It appears to be  15mm shorter than the original and to have it held in place it needs the preload to be all the way down to the end of the threads!! Any thoughts?

Have you contacted Splat about this discrepancy?

Yeah just last night but thought I'd ask here as well whilst i await a reply from them

"We did it on purpose, the newer Beta Sachs shock comes with a shorter spring so we made this spring shorter to fit both shocks, most of the Sachs shocks have just enough thread on them to give you enough preload.

 

If you're not happy with it please send it back and we'll refund you."

 

Fair enough

 You could always turn a shouldered aluminum spacer if you have a lathe or have a machine shop do it ,to put it back into desired thread range.
