TT350 spring rates.
« on: June 07, 2015, 10:29:53 am »
Anyone know what they are, particularly the rear? RaceTech don't list anything.

Alternatively, anyone got a recommendation for a 90kg rider?

Ta. :)

I know that White Power use to make a rear shock for the TT250/350 and alternative rear springs.
Flood motorsport use to supply them.

It's going to end up with different (43mm) forks and different (46mm piston) shock, so replacement springs for the stock components won't help me.
I'm pretty set on 0.48 front springs, subject to knowledgable advice telling me otherwise.

Be good to avoid trial and error on the rear...

The idea is that it will be my VTR bike, and can be leant out to mates as a Vinduro/modern trail bike.

I have a set of IT 43mm triples, and a Honda cartridge front end for it - so the front is only a set of springs away from being sorted.

Rear, I'm going to see if I can use the XT250 body (steel with 46mm ID), and add an external reservoir, the TT shaft, and some sort of more modern valve piston. If that doesn't work, I'll think again.

No prob's Nathan,

The 46m shock piston I use and install into customers bikes is the T - valve  from Teknic motorsport .
The design is a bit like the ohlins shock piston and is 50% lighter than stock.
As always spring rate will determine the correct ride height and free sag ..... you will have to build your own valving stack, but once you find a good base setting you can valve either side of that.

Regards
Rob
