Yes, 14 and 15 MY's came stock with some stiff torsion springs. Good for a guy 240/250 (maybe more) in street clothes. If I were you I would call John @ Accelerated Technologies. He is so much more knowledgeable than anyone at Hygear.

Excellent. Thank you very much!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the stock Yamaha Sidewinder torsion springs intended for a 170 lb rider? Curious about the weight range of the Hygear torsions?

I was wondering the same thing.

The stock torsion springs are 175-215 weight range. At around 215 they don't recommend cam position 1.

This would be correct and then add 30 - 50 lbs. of snow and ice in the sidewinder tunnel from a day's ride. You would then need to be on position 3 on the cam and torsion springs do not like to be topped off.

Correct, that is no cargo, no snow/ice, just a rider - fully geared up.
