Does anyone know where I can buy a softer spring for the long skid shock? Sled is a 2001 sx700r. My son is only 165lbs, and the stock spring is to stiff. According to the proaction setup video, They say to purchase a softer spring, but dont say where.
 

I don't go to the dealer without a part # in hand. I once told him I need idler wheels for an Apex, he asked me who the manufacturer is. Lol
 
Is something binding in your skid? 165lbs is a pretty average weight & i would think you should be able to set up for that with the stock settings. I remember setting mine up when I was 125lbs without issue....
 
I just changed the spring rate to the softest setting and it squats much more when he sits on it. It puts the transfer rods close to the middle of their travel. Nothing was really wrong with the suspension. I was just setting it up according to the tuning video in the tech section. Trying to make it the best it can be. LOL
