Torsion Springs

[FTXMOTORSPORTS]

I'm over 300 with all my gear, and have a few customers the same. we all run the .359 wire with 47 degree angle. adds considerably more pre-load, does away with the dead travel at the top of the stroke also. I ran mine on the softest setting with our valving in the stock shock, and also on the soft setting with z-broz clicker rear.

with proper shock set up you shouldn't need the .405 stuff....let the shock do more work and you'll be happier in the end!

I ordered a set today and ya no .405's for long track dragons. .375 are the largest. $140.

here, some are saying you can and others are saying can't do a long track with .405????????????????????????????

They are not even listed as an optional part for dragons on the parts website.

Look for yourself

OK - Been doing a little investigating. If you look at the polaris parts catalog web page - address above in another post. The Assault (which I hope arrives soon) comes stock with the .375/77 springs - if you click on the usage link, it lists all the other model sleds that use the same part. I did this and you can find the .405/77 spring listed as optional parts for the other model sleds that use the .375/77 but it is not listed as a optional spring for the Assault, if the .375/77 is interchangeable with the .405/77 in other models but not the Assualt - weird, why would that be?

 

[RMKinWI]

Oh ya I don't need any sag in the rear, because when my fat a*s sits on it - it has plenty of sag.

I have a 99 xcr and am 300+...are the 406 /77 going to be enough???

You know I've been fighting a saggin dragon for awhile now. I constantly bottom out. Here is the kicker...I only weigh 185 with all my gear....I complained to the dealer and he sent back my shocks to be redone by W/E. Put the new shocks on and still saggin. I was at the snow show in Denver 2wks ago and picked up a pair of used HD springs. I don't know what size they are but the definately stiffer. To my surprise the saggin is gone!! However, now I am concerned with the rebound. I do a lot of cuff jumping and I dont want to get bounced off...How would you determine the size of the springs? I checked for numbers and none to be found. This is on 08 D8 163.

you need to use a caliper to measure the size

.405's flat out work on the Edge RMK's as well as the IQ RMK's.

 

[YRUSOLO]

My expierience with .405 springs on the IQ is that they are to wide and rub on the upper idler wheels, keeping the wheels from turning freely. I have actually found flat spots on my wheels from not being able to spin.

I don't know if they sell your sled as a Europen model, but I purchased a set of Euro-touring springs for my '99 SKS700, and that my friend solved my ride problems!!!

2004 Switchback Big Boy Springs???

Will the .405 77 degree torsion springs work on a 2004 700 Switchback? I'm 300# with gear on and need something to keep me from constantly bottoming out. I put a set of those springs on a 2000 RMK 700 and they worked great for me on that sled.

If they don't work does anyone having any other suggestions or opinions to help (besides a strict diet)?

 

[milehighassassin]

I have a 2009 Assault and I cannot get my rear shock/track/suspension to "sag" within polaris's limits. I don't weight enough at 185 no gear. Thinking of trying the lighter spring. Does anyone have the sotck Dragon springpart number or have a set they want to sell me?

Here are the springs listed for the 2009 SNO 800 ASSAULT RMK 146 from Polaris.

I have a set on eBay right now which should be one step lighter than what standard lists here( .359/77). I am looking for the set you have on your sled now(.375 /77). Let me know if you would like to work some kind of trade and I will pull the auction on eBay ( link to my ebay auction )

 

[milehighassassin]

Thanks for the chart. I am not sure I want to give up these springs until I know the ones I get will be correct.

 

[Match8]

Not a problem. I understand completely. If they don't sell on the auction maybe we can work something out where you could try before you buy.

I have another set that I believe would be even lighter also up on auction. Someone who know much more about the subject may need to correct me but I think these would be lighter than the other springs we spoke of.

I have a set of the .405's coming but I am nervous they may be a little too stiff...even for my fat arse...lol
