1985 atc 250R - Front Shock rebuld

[zleehw]

I have got a link to a suspension place that offers aftermarket front shock coil springs,

Some one mention a 6 inch spring that with use of a spacer - you put the long spring in, spacer and then 6 inch spring.

Does anyone know what I am talkin about.

I weigh 225, with the new rear shock the front seem so soft and I am tired of gettin my nose stuck in the sand.

Any help would be appreciated.

honestly I have valved my bikes with different weight oil, when I was "dune/crossing" my 250R i ran 60 weight diesel oil up front and no air and the front forks loved whoops

I just did my seals ,2 rides, one side leaks allready, can you still get all the bushings and s--t from honda? Whats the design on your seat cover i cant really see it?

if you get the springs run them with 15 wt fork oil at a level of 5.5" from the top when the forks are collapsed. you can also use a pre-load spacer on top of the springs. you should cut a length of pvc pipe at a length that will force you to compress your springs 3/4" before the fork caps reach the threads. (this is your pre-load)

i'm not positive if the bushings are still avalible from Honda or not but aftermarket suspension companies should have them
