    rear spring ideas

    by dave_houser » Thu Apr 30, 2009 10:01 pm

    i had my race sag set up recently. when i did so, the man recommended i get a stiffer spring for my rear shock. any ideas what i should look for? i weigh 210 lbs and i ride a 2006 CRF 450r. the current setup is stock.
    thanks

    Trick of the trade...

    You're a perfect candidate for the .49 fork springs and 340cc oil volume setup. Thank me later :)

    Dave,
    Do you know what your free sag and race sag is currently? You could use stiffer fork springs too. Painless that seems too low on the oil volume. Motocross Action recomended .49 springs 375cc oil and clickers at 10/10 for the 06 450r to help with mid stroke harshness. I am currently running that on my otherwise stock 06. I weigh 160 without gear and ride MX only.
