Rear Elka, Spring Rates??

[Doibugu2]

Alright, I bought a used Elka last year and it was setup for someone that weighed $250. At the time, I was around 220 with gear. So I figured it wouldn't matter much.

However, I have lost a lot of weight and now I am around 180 with gear. I have only ridden my quad once this year on any rough terrian and it felt like my rear shock was an iron pole below me.

So how much of a difference will gettin my rear shock setup for my weight make? And how much does that normally run?

get the colored strip colors from the spring and call jeff. he can look up what spring it is.

chainging the spring rate will help alot. Congrats on the weight loss :D

What if I get the new elka linkage too, can I just change the springs?

I can change the springs myself correct?

if you order the linkage it will come with the new springs. they will ask your weight when you order it.


yes you can change all the springs yourself!
