recently added a 8.1 rate spring to my 06 apex gt.... had the shock revalved 20% stiffer compression and 20% stiffer rebound... i had the shock revaleved with the stock spring, decided the spring was not stiff enough, then got the 8.1 spring. wondering if this is enough valving or do i have to have it revalved again.

Holy cow,how much do you weigh? I never heard anyone running a spring that huge,8.1 must be for over 350# or more,heck the 5.5 spring is good for close to 300# max than next spring,i would think 6.1 would be plenty,who did the valve job?
 
my fault its the 7.1, I am 6'4'' and weight 250, I ride hard, very hard... and it still bottoms out with this spring.....my local motocross shop revalved it for me, mikes motorsports in allenton wi...
