Heavy springs for 2-up XTX riding?

[bottlerocket]

Do you stock them Allen? I want to ride this thing first to see if its needed.

I try to have at least one set sitting here. If I don't have any at the moment I can usually get them made up in 7-10 days at the most.

1600nm $166 pair

1900nm $190 pair

2200nm $184 pair

Best Regards,
Allen Ulmer

Allen, This is good to know.
Last year I tried to sort this out.
Now I have a re-valve job in the works and I'll test it.
We'll see, I may still need your next level 1600 springs.

Aaaarrrrgggg. To late. I have already ordered the Apex MTX springs.

 

[bottlerocket]

Are they more costly compared to Allen's. Heard they really high from Yamaha.

 

[mach9]

Sometimes higher yes.
The Apex MTX ones need to be cut down shorter for the XTX if I remember right.

Yes they need to be cut shorter. No big deal. I bought them (online)from a Yamaha dealer in Fairview OR. They had the best deal I could find. Part numbers
8FK-47473-10-00 - SPRING, REAR 1(K=2100NMM/DEG)
8FK-47474-10-00 - SPRING, REAR 2(K=2100NMM/DEG)

Did a bunch or reading and heard many successes stories about the mod. I have tried the x-clickers and the spring spacers. They both did nothing. The shock works fine they just need a better spring rate. Looking forward to not having a low rider this winter.

Allen,

Since you are the expert, here is my problem. I ride 2-up with my wife from time to time (with seatjack). Im 275 plus my gear, my wife is 150 plus her gear. With the stock springs we are almost on the bottom.

What rate do you recommend to bring us up, but that won't be too stiff for my solo adventures?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info.

Where did you buy the seat jack?

What kind of LED's are those in your taillight?

The LED's I got off of eBay, just searched for 12" led trailer light.

Any one got that part number for the springs??
