Are the rear springs heavier on the mv? My 700 carries alot of weight on the back and I want heavier springs, What do you think?

 

Kerbbirds.....
Do you have the preloads cranked all the way up?????If you want new HD springs check out the EPI's here.

The MV springs are WAY stiff. I believe they are rated at something like 200 lbs. I think the 800 Sportsmans are rated at 75-115 lbs in the rear. Also the MV spring is 1" shorter, but if you compared the installed "suspension give" between your springs and MV's, you'll have a stiffer setup with these. Basically, yours are longer and weeker, these are shorter and stronger. I had thes on an 800 once. I traded in an 800 and was going to give these springs with it(long story), I COULD NOT hardly make the the 800 squat. I am 300 lbs, and I put almost all my weight in the rear corner, and the thing only squated about 1 inch. If I bounced on the corner, it would move MAYBE 3 inches. This is with the cam all the way down on the preload! IMHO, these are extremely too stiff for a Sportsman. But. I don't like to speek for others. I could have just said these are too stiff in about 12 words, but I wanted to give some detail as to why I think you would not want them!

If Polaris does anything, they need to beef up the suspension(front and rear), but they want that plush feel, so they won't mess with it!

 

Thanks Instigator , I was thinking they woul be too much.
