I was woundering if any one can tell me what spring I should be running for my weight. I am 190lbs give or take, and I have a 450 spring. I ride mainly ride on the shore and whislter. Any one have any ideas. Oh, I don't know if it matters but I have a 99 monster on the front.

thanks

I think you'd need at least a 650. I'm about your weight and I've got an 850 on RM7. Your RMX has a lower leverage ratio so you won't need as much spring as me, but I think you'll blow through a 450. you've probably got a medium frame spring and need whatever spring Rocky puts on their L.

Thats what I got, a large. I would have thought it came with a bigger spring as well.

You didn't say which shock you have....but we'll assume a Swinger?
The 450 "should" be just fine, pump up the psi:)

...and why do you ask? Are you having a problem or just asking in advance? Have you properly set SAG? (and played with psi)

Ya, sorry. It is a 6 way. I just wanted to be sure that I am not goin to kill this shock. I had a 4 way on my Devo and I killed it. But that is a totaly different bike.
