Picking up my 2017 SX on Monday

Ross, if it were me, I would swap out that red rear spring for a yellow one. Having ridden with both, I didn't notice a difference, but would look much better with your yellow bodywork.

The 2014 (yellow) rear spring is 550lbs/in. The 2015 (red) rear spring is 475lbs/in.


EBR used to sells 3 more 550/575/600lbs/in.

That is definitely the plan, but I will do so when I pick up a replacement shock, as I am keeping all my stock parts stock and modifying with add-ons. I had a Showa race shock for it but I sold it when some other expenses showed up at the last minute.

Depending on the roads and how you ride, your tire wear will be noticed with a lighter spring rate because the heavy spring rate keeps the tire planted to the ground better/quicker.

I have done extensive testing between the red and yellow Buell rear shock coils but have yet to post because stupid Photobucket:( The results were surprising.

Check your sag. If you weigh less than 200 lbs and aren't a track only rider, I would highly recommend the lighter (red) spring. The stock rear shock is a very, very, nice part. I have a yellow rear SX spring if you need it.
