As far as I know they came with 52 on the rear and 4,2 on the front stock. To find out what spring to use on the rear you should meassure the sag. Set it to 30-35 mm without driver and then meassure when you are sitting on it with full gear. Aim at 100-110 mm. For the front some say you should go up here if you go up on the rear and some say that it depends more on what kind of riding you do and your riding style.

Thanks for the link for marzocchi springs. Marzocchi corporate representation in the UK seems to consist of a mountain bike shop and they did not sell parts at all, although I managed to get Marzocchi branded fork bushings no worries from Steve Plain (oil and wiper seals are common metric size, so get them anywhere). When / if the ohlins spring ever turns up, I'll see how the sag is looking and whether the forks want heavier springs too. I expect it will be possible to work backwards from the current sag measurements and make an educated guess about fork spring weights if the information is not openly available.

This is where a suspension tuner comes into their own. They will be able to look at your current sag figures, test the current spring rates, and then change them as required. All that money that charge is for the tooling and knowledge, more than just the work that they do.

Called Steve Plain and they took info and called back within the hour with specs and prices. Shock spring had to be ordered but at least Ive got it sorted out, even bought other parts from them too.. Any Gasgas owners need parts / advice give them a call Chris.... |

What did he recommend and prices?
Tried the racetech suspension guide and it seems to think 4.6 - 4.8 on the front and 5.8 on the rear

Just found this on my travels
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorc...s-race-springs would anyone be so kind as to measure their springs free length and internal diameter? I believe the Ohlins are 275mm long and 59mm ID. Thanks !! (PLEASE HELP!!!)

Pleased to hear Steve Plain sorted your parts 32:1
Motopsycho, I ended up with a 5.4 Faulkner spring from proracing, which has transformed how the bike rides, much, much better. I'll get to a practice day and see how the bike goes on a proper track. He also suggested a shim change to the Marzocchis which should make them more suited to the type of terrain we encounter in the uk.
