Hey guys. Im 280lbs and have recently been jumping my 04 DS 650 Baja. I read the manual on how to set up the rear shock. It ends up I have the collars on the rear shock as far as they will adjust. I have been hitting the jumps and bottoming the back of the quad out. I would like to replace the rear spring with some thing stiffer. Has any one done this and where do I get the spring? I dont want to buy one and it not make a difference. Thanks again for the info. derek

 

Bottoming out has nothing to do with your spring at your weight. You need to adjust your compression firmer, that is the adjuster on the rezy. Try a couple clicks at a time and you will be fine. The spring adjustments are only for ride height. The DS has a very nice rear shock, with both compression and rebound adjustments, I bet with some tinkering you will get it dailed in very nicely.

 

yep look on the resi and there is a slot for a reg screwdriver and I believe if you turn the screw clockwise it will make it softer and turning it counterclockwise it will make the suspension harder

 

It's actually the opposite way turning the clickers....

 

lol thanks I wasn't sure I was thinking of how it is on my r

 

Thanks guys will do exactly that. D

 

Make sure the gas hasnt leaked down

 

At over 250 lbs a rider should get the rear shock revalved and a spring to there riders weight, I sent mine to TCS and was a night and day difference!!!
