The rear suspension on my phazer gt was to soft right from new. Thinking of putting rtx springs in the rear skid. Would this be a step in the right direction? and make enough of a difference? thanks

My base model was too soft as well so I installed the Yamaha race springs and it was way too stiff on the small stuff. I then reinstalled the original springs and upgraded to the the FX shocks. I'm now going to send the shocks in for a revalve to make the valving more progressive. From my experience trying to get the ride I want, I would go for a revalve instead of the springs. Plus, I think getting the shocks valved will be cheaper!
Does anyone know, can the shocks in the GT skid be revalved?

Unfortunately, I think the springs are only available if you buy the complete Yamaha racer kit. Check out Yamaha's website. I got lucky and was able to buy them used from someone that was willing to split up the kit!

the center shock can't be rebuilt i think & the rear, i'd just get a new one with a piggyback resevoir.
on the 07's that is.

FYI, I spent $280 dollars for a used Yamaha FX rear clicker shock. If you look on ebay you can get a brand new Ohlins shock with rebound clicker too, and for about $415 shipped from Carver performance. That is the way that I would go if I could do it again. Although, I did get the center shock for about $100 shipped... and I think the Ohlins center is much more expensive. Anyhow, I hope this info helps you.
