Prgressive Springs??

[max03]

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding progressive springs up front. I have a leaky fork seal so i plan i tearing them both apart to change them both. Is it worth putting the progressive springs in or are stock fine. The other question is would you put the lowering ones in, i slid my tubes down one inch in the trees as it sits. Also are after market forks seals ok or factory yamaha ones perferred? They are pretty pricey! Looking for to your opinions thanks!!!!

Progressive springs are deffinately worth it & I would use Yamaha Fork seals there a lot better than aftermarket. The lowering is strictly preferance so its up to you on that.

I think the max you should move them up is a 1", but the Progressive springs were night and day better on my '92. You may want to look at improving the rebound valving with a set of Ricor Intiminators or Race Tech gold vave kits, helps to improve the fork action.

I absolutely love that I put in a set. What I would do if I were you is to buy the normal ones, install them, run with them, lower the stanchions like redbone suggests, run with them, and if you like it, either keep the stanchions as is or, cut yourself some pvc to size and put them in the tubes to lower them. It'll save you some coin. If you ever want to know about how to internally lower using pvc, I can hunt down the thread

+1 with cartridge emulators. Worls of difference

I would go with OEM seals. Look them up at ronayers.com

OEm seals are the only way to go. We keep them on hand and can also set you up with the springs when you are ready. We have videos' showing how to R&R them.

Your going to have it all apart. So make the upgrades and be done with it as long as you have the money for the mods. Progressive springs should almost be a mandatory upgrade if you have the forks apart. Use the yamaha seals.
