    I have really interesting news on the spring rates on the shock. I also have a 2017 TE 300 and I went to Factory Connection, which is about a mile away. I weigh about 220 with full gear on and I was having serious handling issues with the stock spring. We put a 5.2 on and it still sagged way too much, even when I was just in street clothes. Jake at FC thought the spring was mislabeled and measured it and the stock spring. He found that the stock spring had a higher spring rate that was marked. He thinks that the linkage geometry creates a need for a higher spring rate. We ended up putting a 5.5 on at the end of the day. The moral of the story here, is to go up a step on your spring rate on these bikes.

    It pays to get your suspension checked out setup for your riding.

    I've been really happy with suspension so far.
    I have an enduro race with an endurocross section in it next week so we'll see how it copes

    Do you have a part number on the 5.5 spring? The parts finders I've looked at stop at the 5.2 spring? Actually the shock springs part numbers look kinda confused and out of order. Looks like data entry issues.

    Do the new 17s have a downloaded-able parts PDF. It sure was nice to have that on my phone with the ability to check out the parts fiche while working on the bike. In the garage or out at the track in the boonies.
