Mtnviper, Did You Stiffen The Spring Preloads After Revalving Your Shocks? I Had My Shocks Softened As Well And It Seems So Soft I Was Wondering If I Should Increase The Preload Some.

I just got mine in October - so yes, it is still available. yamaha told me the program would go on as long as the shock package was still available.
I tried 2 places that also said they were not still available. Keep trying - I also called Yamaha cust service and got the word directly from them. Got a phone number and name of a contact their if my dealer gave me any crap. The instalation is not included anymore...

I'm in the states - MN to be exact. I paid $189 for shocks only, got to keep my old ones too. I still have the receipt and everything...
The part number ordered was 8FB-shock-KT-00, description was "sxviper 03 ER shock", $189.00. That makes sense - they are actually giving the 2003 shock package off an ER.

I would call yamaha cust. service and get a contact person that this dealer can call to verify the price. I did...
I suppose you could always order from another dealer - even out of state. I think the shipping would only be around $20 - then you would still be up $80 from your dealer.

hate to beat a dead horse to death, but I don't understand how they can want to charge you $299...

XRX1, I set the springs to the specs pioneer recommend. I gave them my weight, type of riding I do etc. I found them to be very close, I did play around with the center shock spring preload some for different snow conditions.
My set up for a 165 pound rider and 136" rear skid was. Front springs 10.125". center spring 8.062" rear spring 14.875". All specs with the suspension hanging free.
