TTR fork springs....
Permalink  
 


Is there any one that lists spring weights for the TTR...

found a few of the one spring fits all weight riders out fits

what a load of BS...

Been playing with pre-load spacer lengths....

Can get either static or rider sag right but not both...

The rear must be sprung for a rider in the 70/80kg area

as I have got both rear sags right to with in 5mm...

 

Pete

never got a reply...
anyways i took the springs into the guy that rebuilt the
USD forks I put in the XT660...
he tested them... they are 0.42kgs/mm springs..
He had a set of 0.40kgs/mm springs... got them in
not had a chace to ride it yet.. but the Sags are very
close to what I was after...

 they are better over the small sharp bumps 'rocks/tree roots etc'

a lot more complyant to small bumps..

they do tend to bottom out when yer lift the front over logs etc...

i had a issue with the front washing out so had to slide the forks

though the clamps 25mm to give more rack & trail... it's very stable

in a stright line over bumps but dosn't turn as quickly around the trees..

I ride alot of very tight forestry single tracks... "yer see when I get this

uploading video thing sorted out"..
