Note: The higher the rate the stiffer the spring. In general we have had very good results with riders looking for less bottoming but keeping good ride quality with the springs Yamaha has listed in the accessory catalogs for each model however if you have extreme circumstances you might want to look at the other offered springs. We offer discounted pricing on all these springs feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. Thanks

Update for Apex GT owners.

We now carry a 6.1Kg and a 6.5Kg Ohlins spring for the electronic Ohlins shock in the Apex GT models.

We currently have those sizes and the 5.5 and 7.1 springs in stock.

Will the 6.5 Apex spring work on the Attak for a guy that doesn't want to go all the way to the 7.0 spring?

THANKS!

[Port-Parts]

Sure will as long as it is the 6.5 Kayaba spring - the 6.5 Ohlins spring will only work on the Apex GT and 07 Attak GT models with the Electronic Ohlins. Any of the Kayaba springs can be run on the Kayaba shocks.

 

[MR.HAPPY]

What weight is the 6.5 Kayaba spring rated at?

THANKS!

FREEK did you do anything with your shock?

Coldone - They really don't rate the spring to rider weight only it really depends more upon rider style, aggressiveness, and weight all combined to pick the right set-up. I have seen 160lb agressive riders go from the 5.0 stock to the 7.0 and love it whereas some customers 250lb are happy with the stock set-up. Give me a call or list your current feelings on your set-up and hopefullly I can recommend a spring that would work best for you.

Ok guys....2008 Apex LTX-GT. I go about 235lbs NO GEAR. Probably need to add 15-20 LBS fully geared including saddle bags. So 250+ Lbs geared out.

We ride alot of smooth trails with 10% junk.

I "think" my stock spring is the 6.1kg but not entirley sure. If not what spring is STOCK with my sled and where should I go?

Assuming stock is 6.1, do I go to 6.5 or 7.1?

rxwonder - have you riden the sled at all yet and have you tried adjusting the sag to the 40-45 mm setting on the sled with the stock spring yet? If you can get that sag reading with the stock spring I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the ride calibration of the Ohlins Mono 136"skid. I think most riders will find the spring and valving combination on the Ohlins 136 Mono set-ups calibrated very well for riders up to 250lbs. If you have riden it and feel it bottoming excessively on the big rollers or you can't get the sag reading with the stock spring I would recommend moving up to the 7.1kg spring. Call me or post back if you have more questions on the sag adjustments or calibration of that set-up.

Nope haven't ridden yet at all. I'll give it a try with the sag first and let you know. Is the next step for spring options a 7.1?

Sure will as long as it is the 6.5 Kayaba spring - the 6.5 Ohlins spring will only work on the Apex GT and 07 Attak GT models with the Electronic Ohlins. Any of the Kayaba springs can be run on the Kayaba shocks.

Is there a physical reason that they are not interchangeable?

 

[Port-Parts]

Physically the length and width of the springs are different between the different style shocks (Ohlins/Kayaba).

 

[catchmeifucan]

thanks, found out the hard way. picked one up on ebay but at least i was the only one bidding and got it for $0.99. Shipping was quite a bit more though! oh well, someone may need one at some point.

Now I'm nervous...

You guys are talking about 250lbs needing the big boy spring...I just bought a 2007 APEX GT and was told my weight, 400lbs, wouldn't be a problem for this sled.

Am I in trouble?
