Default Moto-Pro Suspension

Last week my 0.44 front and 6.0 rear springs arrived. Put them in yesterday, what a difference. Couldn't be more happy with the product. This may be my favorite mod, and it's definatley the most noticable. The rear spring seemed to raise the seat height an inch or two, which I was fine with considering i'm 6'1''. Installation was a breeze thanks to the No Brakes write-up. I highly recommend these springs to anyone considering them.

I weigh 200 geared up. I used plugged in my weight and bike on the moto-pro website and those are the sizes it told me to go with.
I didn't take any install pics, and the rear spring doesnt really look much different on the bike than the stocker- its black, and a little thicker. Feels great though!

now are you going to raise the suspension to the pre '09 height? all that is required is the '06/'07 rear linkage and to remove the spacers in the forks. I plan to do the moto springs next spring for my weight of 150 and to also raise the suspension to the pre '09 settings. then the bike will be hard to beat overall. being 6'1", you could probably use the added height I speak of.

Cool. I have the .44 fork springs from them. They are being installed at the Kawi dealer this week, my bike is there having some other mods done to it also. I did not buy the rear spring yet. I just got the bike in October, and haven't had a chance to do enough offroad riding to judge how much I need a stiffer rear spring. It feels fine so far, but I've only taken it off tiny jumps. I could tell the fork was pretty mushy though, hopefully the .44s should take care of that. I am about 6-0 215lbs btw.

Right on guys. Getting the correct springs in will make a huge improvement, especially off road. Seems to be the most overlooked performance mod. Next, get the valving done and you will notice an additional big improvement. Don't forget to set the proper sag and you will be good to go. Here's a link to setting everything up.

Thanks for posting, I have been interested in correcting the mushy front end. What did the front springs cost?
