The same valves as for the 850 - FEGV S4301. I found the 0.85 springs too stiff so I reverted to the TDM springs

You don't happen to have those .85 shooting lying around do you.
Was only thinking the other day that the front was a bit soft now I have the notion shock on the back.

Predictive text Celtic -doncha just luv it  ;) . Don't think I still have the springs - possibly Wicky got them but I'll have a look - there are some springs in the garage somewhere. 

 

Did a mix of 10 and 15 to give 12.5 weight Jono - from memory it's a 2mm hole drilled in the damper tube for rebound. Curiously, I'm using 0.90 springs and 15 oil in the TRX.......................

850 Mk2 and 900s have old fashioned (read cheap) damper rods.

 

Free postage within the States jono - got any friends/family over there?
