Sum Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 My body weight (<135lb) is too light for the standard setup and sure enough, I can't set static and riding sags correctly. There is an OEM part for a softer rear shock coil but it costs more than $300? and there is no OEM fork springs for lighter or heavier riders. I wonder if there are other sources that are selling third party parts. Not sure how critical to have correct springs for beginners, but >$300 seems a bit too much... Your help would be appreciate.

nhuskys Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Jitsie sells aftermarket Tech fork springs and Ohlins shock springs. Lightest springs available are still for a 80kg/176lbs rider though. https://www.jitsie.com/en/front-fork-springs/51252-spring-for-tech-front-fork-aluminium-39mm.html https://www.jitsie.com/en/rear-shock-springs/51248-spring-for-ohlins-rear-shock-absorber.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totty79 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 See if you can find a spring maker in your area, I had a pair of fork springs made a few years back and it didn't cost much I think it was £35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I needed. According to the manual, 80N/mm is the standard for the rear shock and the 75N/mm one is for 55-70kg. So, I guess Jitsie site is wrong. I have to find out if Jitsie would ship it to US, though. Edit: I found a Jitsie dealer in US. Thanks!!

nhuskys Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Did you buy your bike from a new Gas Gas dealer who isn't really a trials shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
