Default Progressive suspesion brand front Spring Kit for 05/06 SP

Hmmm, if they're too short for the 05/06's.....maybe they would work for the earlier models???

With the springs and collars installed and the collars adjusted all the way up (most compression), the springs just barely touched. And it feels as if the front suspension is softer, nothing scientific, just feel. Plus, the Scrambler springs look a LOT thinner than stock (didn't measure difference).

That would be "WGMARQ". He has an 06 Sportsman 700 EFI and he changed out his stock front springs for the front springs used on the MV7 (the military quad). I rode his machine both before and after. The new springs made a wonderful improvement and firmed things up really nice......no more mushyness and pushing in the front end.......much better. You can order the MV7 springs right from your dealer. If you need anymore details PM "WGMARQ" and I'm sure he'll give you the complete scoop.

Good Luck, Bob

Has anyone done any resarch on this CO and there springs. They have a listing for 05 and 06 SP bikes. The spring rates are also lower than that of the MV. I belive the MV front spring is 210 in/lbs. While on the subject of the MV7 springs. How does the SP ride with the MV front springs. Does the rear feel soft or is it a good ballance.

front PT# WE320010 120 in/lbs $59.95
Rear PT# WE321519 140 In/lbs. $39.95

From information that I have seen, the stock 2005 SP700 spring rate is 70/111. The MV is 75/170. I have heard good things about EPI, but I am done experimenting (2" spacers, Progressive springs), think I am just going with the MV springs. Would like to see some feedback from WGMARQ.

Bytor,

That's good info. Wonder how you'd test you springs. I love the fact that we all get diff info from diff sources. I was told the 06 700 springs are 50-90. This came from polaris direct. I called them and asked there tech support. Who knows they could have fed me BS. They also told me the MV7 springs are 210. Again I'll agree that that's probably the way to go.
