I've seen charts for the 80's sled springs but, I would like to see one for the Vmax4, Vmax500 and 600's ? Thanks !

TSS SUSPENSION & HANDLEING PERFORMANCE
The Yamaha TSS is one of the finest suspension systems there is. One of its advantages is that you can change to different rate coil springs for different rider weights and varying conditions. There are many different rates available. Straight rate is just that, progressive means: the more the springs are compressed the stiffer the spring rate curve gets.

Are these springs still available? I could use a set of stiffer spring for my 95 600. After putting a long travel skid on the rear, I could use a bit stiffer spring in the front.

Chris, Simply a copy&paste "F.Y.I. from a mid 1990's Bender catalog !" Try calling Bender Raceing. Later Chuck
