I race MX and I'm looking for some non stock predator suspension. I was gonna buy the rezzies for the front and get them installed for now and do something else later when I can afford it better. I was thinking about sending them to Rath and have them rebuilt. What do you guys think?

You can get the triple rate springs from Hot seat for the fronts and use a KTM PDS-6 rear spring for the rear. Check out Predatorowners.com

so are these just springs that you put onto your stock shocks? I'll go see if I can find anything at that site though.

The fronts are just the springs. Just unscrew the preload adjuster all the way up and remove the holder at the bottom. Remove the old spring and slide the new ones over. The rear is the same way. much smoother riding than the stock rear spring.

you will have to call Hot Seat to get the springs, it is not listed on their site. I got the rear spring from my local bike shop.

What are the springs for/from/off of? Do you have rezzies on the front too? And... do you post on Rath's site?

The front springs are from Hot Seat. I don't know what they come from but I got the XC spring set. The Rear is off a KTM dirt bikes I think the 125 sx.
240 for the triple rate springs shipped and 110 for the rear spring. I am getting my rezzies mounted this thursday. Hopefully the weather will hold out so I can test them out.

I check out Rath's site occasionally but mostly Predatorowners.com.

Was that 240 each or 240 for both of them?

Okay.... I really hope I'm not annoying you but do you have the part numbers for those springs? (fronts and rear?) Thanks

just call hot seat http://www.hotseatperformance.com/ for the front springs.


The rear is from a KTM 125 sx factory connection for a WP PDS-6 (that is the spring number) if you want something heavier they have a PDS-7 spring. I am 220# and I like the soft ride of the PDS-6. It is a progressive rate spring and give a plush ride.
Try http://www.factoryconnection.com/products/forkProducts.htm or try your local KTM dealer.

Just to let you know it is no problem. If I can do anything else to help out a fellow Predator rider let me know.
