[Rear Spring]

Well the new Progressive rear shock & spring are in. Did the baffle-ectome on the exhaust while it was apart, and a new rear tire. Have'nt had 2 up on it yet but it sure takes the bumps better. I think cleaning and lubing all the pivots helped as much as anything. Wish it were'nt so hard to get to it to adjust the spring, I might back it off a tick.

I bought the front springs and will get into that later this summer too.

Well I'm still inclined to go for the new suspension. My experience with sleds and such is that shock technology has improved dramatically since this bike was built. I see some posts reflect that here to.

Yeah I have set the air at the high automatic setting and now it does not bottom but the ride is pretty stiff. Why does it need to be on center stand? Does it get more air in?:confused24:

What a wealth of info. Thanks to all. I'm pretty sure the spring is shot, and changing the dampner has no effect. I like this Bike enough to invest in the new suspension. Think I'll do the forks too. Keep hearing that Progressive stuff is good. Mama wants to tour Nova Scotia next year so I guess my plan is set.

Metzeler 880 Marathon tire 35 psi. I am near due for new tires which I have purchased. I was hoping to adress the spring issue when i change tires.

Thanks to this forum I have repaired the E4 code problem but I think the Rear spring and or Shock are toast. It holds air ok and rises when inflated but bottoms out pretty hard especially with two up. Rate adjuster doesnt seem to do anything either. Is there an aftermarket replacement??
