Banshee0028 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Ok, posted in the MX section HERE but SO FAR NO LOVE...At least not yet.... Basically I have TCS shocks in the front setup for mostly trails, and a stock re-worked shock in rear also setup by TCS for trails and light jumps. Took the shee to the MX track for the first time, and it is bottoming pretty hard on almost every jump!!! Would I be able to simply change the rear shock to a stiffer spring or would I have to re-valve them also??? Here is the orig link: http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50263. I am hoping a simple srping swap at this point will work, as they are valved exactly for my weight and only 6 months old.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 youve gotta buy a spring compresser if you want to go with a stiffer spring and do it yourself.. it might just be cheaper to get it done by a local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Call Todd @ TCS (951) 245-7484, tell him what you're after and he'll get you squared away. If the rear shock has been re-valved already a simple change of spring rate will be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 are they duel or triple rate,,, i think the spring swap will help that out, but it might make your trail riding a little stiff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee0028 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 are they duel or triple rate,,, i think the spring swap will help that out, but it might make your trail riding a little stiff... 414497[/snapback] The fronts are dual, but the rear is a single since its a stock spring. Call Todd @ TCS (951) 245-7484, tell him what you're after and he'll get you squared away. If the rear shock has been re-valved already a simple change of spring rate will be no problem. I just called Todd today and he suggests we change the rear spring and maybe re-valve it for now and see how it works without doing the fronts also. Hopefully just a stiffer spring will do the trick, but going to a full ZERO PRELOAD setup seems nice but another major UPGRADE$$$$...
