Couple questions before I go for a Tan Spring.
(My bike is running a Green/Yellow Primary spring, 3 stock weights slightly ground, and 3 Dalton with no rivets, also slightly ground.)
Will my shift out change one way or another just a little? 25-50 RPM?
Will my bottom end suffer, or will I gain bottom end a little?
Will I get my wheelies back? (As the Green/yellow spring I break traction with stock tires and it's hard to find a surface I can wheelie on, which Isn't a problem either way, just need to learn throttle control.)
What is the shift out (if different all else equal, just changing springs only) and engagement of all the different primary springs, and the compression lbs at engagement and shift out, or however it is you measure them?
Will I get better belt pinch with the Tan spring over any other, (using 3 Dalton weights with no rivets)
Any other information you can tell me about the Tan spring would be great, I'm a very aggressive trail rider, I don't have to worry about the engagement so much, but when I do I would like to go a hair lower in RPM.
I know that people say there is no difference in anything except the engagement RPM with the tan spring, but to me that doesn't make sense, as when your weights overcome the spring, it then engages, then fights the spring all through shift-out and beyond, and I don't see how the springs can only be different in compression during engagement and not though out the whole time.
I hope this thread will teach alot of people about the tan spring, also about other springs.
