Scubadog Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hi all. Anyone fitted the splat shop 15% uprated rear spring to a Sachs rear shock on a gasgas txt pro 2012 250cc? It appears to be 15mm shorter than the original and to have it held in place it needs the preload to be all the way down to the end of the threads!! Any thoughts?

Scubadog Posted June 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Reply from splat shop "We did it on purpose, the newer Beta Sachs shock comes with a shorter spring so we made this spring shorter to fit both shocks, most of the Sachs shocks have just enough thread on them to give you enough preload. If you're not happy with it please send it back and we'll refund you." Fair enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauls320 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 You could always turn a shouldered aluminum spacer if you have a lathe or have a machine shop do it ,to put it back into desired thread range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
