Ski-Doo R Motion/ C Motion Torsion Springs

Sold by singles, if you would like to order a pair please change quantity to 2.

We recommend a pair per weight listed, if it lists 2 different springs then we recommend 1 of each of whats on the chart.

                        R MOTION SKIDS                                                       

Note: For R motion riders in the 240-270 pound range We will recommend one 1.99 kg and one 2.3 kg spring. This is very common for us and doesn’t hurt the skid frame at all. The skid is bolted to the tunnel in four places. The two springs just average the workload and work just fine. Motorcycles often run different spring rates in the two forks and they just average out perfectly. Some newer motorcycles take this to the extreme and run only one spring in one fork leg with the damping cartridge in the other leg! As long as you drive the bike with the axle and front-wheel installed (which is HIGHLY recommended lol), you will be just fine. Along this same line of thought, feel free to stagger your preloads from left to right to give you more and finer tuning options as you try to hit sag. You don’t have to have them matched, the skid doesn’t care, it operates as one system left to right. However, if you have your two ski shocks set dramatically differently you will adversely affect the handling and turning because they are independent of each other.

The correctly selected stronger torsion spring will NOT make your ride much stiffer! The goal of a selected torsion spring is to support YOUR weight at the general target of 3-3.5” of rider sag at minimal preload, not at MAX! If this is accomplished with the right spring at a low preload number the sled will not BANG against the scissor stop aggressively when jumped, and will be strong enough to just engage your coupler blocks occasionally when you want it to, NOT ON EVERY BUMP. The correct spring will help you accomplish this. Imagine riding for 10 minutes without banging up against the scissor stop as you crest hills and thumping into bottom (or coupler blocks) on G outs! THAT is comfort!.
