    Is the rear spring a progressive or a standard spring? And what is the stock spring rate?

    Thanks Jeff

    The springs are straight rate and you either have a 5.6 or 5.4, don't remember for sure about the 310.

    The Sachs springs have A very small sticker on the outside of the coil you may have to turn the spring to see it.

    I know that some fork springs are progressive, are progressive rear shock springs common?

    Progressive Springs

    Progressive springs arent too common at this time that function is commonly handled by the linkage system in the rear, and the air chamber in the F.F. by ajusting the oil volume. I know of on progressive spring used in the current range of Husky models.

    The bold part, did you mean "no" or "one"?

    I did think that the linkage was the progressive part, but I'm no expert. Thank you for confirming that. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for everone response. I remember progressive springs for KTM but they do not have the linkage, so that makes sense.

    Drew,

    I'm running the beehive this weekend what do you think for settings? I'm 180 pounds. I have the sag lowered to just under 4 inches. I'm 8 clicks out on the front compression and rebound. Six out on rear rebound and 8 out on rear compression. I'm not sure what to do with the high speed settings. I'm running a tubliss in the rear and running 10 psi. front psi at 12. I set it like this for sandy woops. I'm not sure if this rain will have any effects on the terrian.

    When the season is over I'm sending everything up to you. I've ridden on you work and it's night and day. What do you think about the front forks?
