Broke front skid spring

[ClutchMaster]

Replacing the stock junk a$$ spring with this heavier model, I guess we will see how long this other piece of china garbage lasts.

How many miles?

 

[ClutchMaster]

Close to 5000

Should have gone with a way better spring from Stingray Mods, I believe Bill is the man to talk to and personally I just ordered one of his custom springs 'cause the oem spring is for teeter totter!

I didn’t or the stock junk, it’s aftermarket

With 5000 miles have you ever rebuildt the shock? If not you are most likely only riding on the spring which is part of the cause.

My stocker bagged out right around 3000mi. Kept having to adjust it tighter every ride.

I rebuild/revalve all my own shocks, trust me my shocks rarely go one season without a rebuild. Every yamaha I own has fox shocks even the older sleds. I didn’t have the special gland removal tool to do the floats up front, so I sent it out last time.
First coil over I have ever broke. These sleds are trash quality, something breaks ever time I go out. Boggy wheel mount broke last time, the shock eyelet the time before that..... it goes on and on.
Just venting my frustrations.

And I give you credit for being so articulate. RockerDan just goes Grrrr and I have to count r's to know how pissed he is. After teasing you I have to say thanks for all the insights, it is appreciated.

I put one on my viper and loved it

I ran Hygear's dual rate spring with the crossover adjustment on my RTX Nytro and really liked it. I'm thinking about going the same route on my RTX Viper.
