Im kinda late getting in on this one but thought Id throw my 2 cents in anyway.

Ive tried both the green and white and what Farmr123 told you is exactly right.
I went with the green first but it was too aggressive for my style of ridding. I like crawling over rock,logs,obstacles and stuff like that. With the green spring you really have to rev the motor before it engages enough to pull you out of a tight bind like that and that has to be murder on the belt.
I have the white one in now and for me..its perfect! You still get better acelleration from a stop but it also allows you to do the slow stuff I like to do without the extra strain on the belt and motor.

In a nutshell...
If you like to nail the gas and run like hell then you want the green one.
If you want a good all around spring that improves performance in all catagorys then you want the white one.

Sounds like the white spring is the one to get!! I am trying to get the white spring from my polaris dealer. Is there a part number for the polaris OEM white spring?

I asked my dealer about the green and white springs and they had no idea what i was talking about.
Give Rick Ritter at RCR a call.
I got both or mine from him.

Chris, tell your dealer you want a spring for a 2000 or 2001 scrambler 400, 2 wheel drive. the white spring was actually a stock spring in alot of 400 2wheel drive sports and scramblers.Bubba

Well, I recieved the correct "white Polaris spring" from bubba the other day. Yesterday I installed it. Here's what I noticed right off. Initial takeoff pull has increased tremendously. In low, I can wheelie it with no problem, and in high the front comes up just slightly. Pretty good for a utilitly beast! It hasn't changed the engagement rpm drastically enough to affect anything I do in the desert. I will still be able to hit the most technical trails without looping the bike. As far as top end is concerned, I couldn't really test that because I don't have a speedo. Next time out I'll bring a GPS and see what it's doing at top end. I didn't think of it at the time... Thanks again guys for the help! Bubba did you get your EPI spring yet?

If you really want to see some gains match that spring with Aaen's blue secondary and it will be awsome.I really like that blue I have it on both of my bikes and it made a worlds of differance.Helps slow you down better on hills.
