How to change a spring on a WP shock. - I haven't once, not once in 4(ish) years of owing this KTM 2009 XCF250 set the suspension sag. I have been of the mindset - Just ride the darn thing! Well, now that I'm becoming a bit faster as a rider I notice that my suspension seems to be the limiting factor. So, I'm finally going to set up the bike correctly! I have swapped from the stock 69-250 spring to a heavier 72-250 spring. I like my pizza...I'm a bit hefty...so what? If I didn't weigh 220lbs(ish) with all my gear, the stock spring would do just fine, but I don't.
The other part of the equation that I have yet to address is pulling the fork apart and seeing if I have to correct springs in there...if not, that'll be the next adventure.

Great Video !! Simple terms, straight to the point, good angles on the footage to see what you're doing. I wish more folks could be this focused on topic.

That helped. I took the shock off the bike but did not have a clue how to get the spring re moved. Thanks.

Hi Nic! Good video! I tend to twist the spring to make adjustments up and down. Thanks again! Ryan T. - Utah

Good video, one comment from me when you have the shock off the bike anyway is to open the needle bearings in both ends and inspect them. If they are fine just re-grease them with water proof grease alternatively replace.

Really appreciate this video. I watched it once then was able to easily change the spring out on my TX300 with confidence.

I spray a little WD-40 on the threads. Makes it spin nice and easy.

You would think the pressure of the spring and the load would just shear that little bit of snap ring right off..... I can't see what is going on there so I just imagine the worst 😣

Great vid! After watching I have a question.. would you even need to remove top bolt from shock ( leave it in the bike) to do this? Just bought the same bike and doing some upgrades. Thanks !

I don't remember if you can access what you need to if you were to leave the top bolt in. It's been a while since I did this
