Your probably best going to the dealer or Rick Ritter. My dealer didn't know of such a thing, but I looked it up in my service manual and requested it.

you might want to think about this more, i just put in the green spring from dennis kirk, it is way the heavy. my top speed went to about 30 mph in high, to get the quad moving i was probly alittle above half throttle.
The spring D.K. has are from EPI, the white spring pn, 38-0374 has a 2 1/2" load of 125lbs. and the 1 1/4" load is at 280 lbs. these springs are way to aggressive for ANY thing that i will ever do. DO NOT GET THESE. i am taking mine out after just 20 mins of riding, it is so hard on the engine,i dont see how a belt would last more then 5 hours riding like this, i also dont see how an engine would last long before you blow a ring or something.

do some research, i will be looking too.

 

The color codes used by different manufacturers are all different . The color when comparing one companies spring to another mean nothing .

 

AMEN, Rick. White from one source doesn't mean white from another. I got mine from Rick Ritter, and he was very nice about explaining what it would do. At the time I was a 'newbie' when it came to mods, and his advice really helped me out.
From talking to the man I became impressed with his honesty & integrity. I mean, he runs a bike shop, but have you ever seen him try to hawk what he does here? I wasn't sure what I wanted, I was considering a clutch kit, and he told me that for what I wanted to do, I could save a lot of money just by switching the spring. Talked himself into a $50 sale instead of a $250 sale. The spring was more like $20 or less, I got some other stuff with it, while I had him on the line.
Wherever you get the spring, make sure it has the same specs as the Polaris white spring, don't get just any white spring that will fit.
I had my white spring in place for over 2500 miles and wouldn't want it back to stock.
