Just got an R1 rear shock and have removed orignal spring, what is the best weight for the new spring to be rated at ? Cheers .
I've a simler question as i have a taffspeed style rear shocker and would be interested to know what the spring rate is and can you buy others as with an r1 shocker.
anyone can buy a dremel, but does that make them a scooter tuner
it really depends what weight you are and your riding style and wether you have a cutdown or full frame and if you do alot of 2 up riding i do 3 spring rates 180,200 and 225 lbssponge bob wrote:Just got an R1 rear shock and have removed orignal spring, what is the best weight for the new spring to be rated at ?

Unrelated I know but can you give the springs a quick measure for me please? I'm looking for replacements for my Ape and I think size wise they'd be quite close.

I've settled in on the 180# - I just think it gives you more versatility with the adjustments. The stronger the spring, the less level of adjustment you'll have. I'm typically riding one up - weight about 210# and am tall so riding way at the back. The times I've ridden two-up I just give it a quick adjustment and we're good. The 225 made for a hard ride.
