2011 nytro xtx with 7500miles - installed the star suspension last year. Still have some sag but I think it is the torsion springs. I had the front shock and spring done by star last year too.

Yamaha dealer quoted $217 cdn plus tax each for new springs. Are there any other options? That is too much $$. I weigh 180Ibs.
 
Just Google Barn of Parts Yamaha. Go to the menu and it will be listed there
 
Here you go

Just got 'em from Travis, good looking quality pieces. Installation & testing will be this weekend.
 
Doc Roc...hey buddy.

I ordered a set of spring adjuster blocks for mine from Travis, and ordered new torsion springs from Jake at MacLeans in F'ton...but I know Barn of Parts have a used set of torsion springs he told me about...I think they were 160 USD.
 
Thanks for the information everyone. I am not sure if the aftermarket adjuster will work as it is too stiff when I set it on med or hard with the stock cam adjuster on the spring. For some reason there is very little resistance at the top, but as it compresses it becomes very stiff. It seems like the torsion spring is not opening up all the way. I am going to have the rear shock rebuilt, but I don't see how this will fix the sagging issue.
