2001 Z3 COIL- Anyone know what springs they come with??(3 posts)

2001 Z3 COIL- Anyone know what springs they come with??lars24
Apr 8, 2002 3:25 PM
Performance Bike has the '01 Z3's on sale, but before I order one I wanted to find out what springs come stock in them? I weigh between 180-190 and ride cross country...will I need to replace the springs? I'm asking because that's an additional expense of about $40 if I can't sell the stock ones. Also, this is the shock that is internally adjustable from 80mm-100mm and vice versa, correct? I would just need to move the springs around? Thanks

The only details in manual / .pdf is "constant pitch springs". They also come in 130mm - check out the Marzocchi
site. My 'Z3 QR20 + 130mm coil' came on a Stinky D-L with thru-axle.

The 130mm Z3 is OE ONLY, your Z3 cant be extended to 130mm. Its best to respring it the fork for your weight. Im your size and used the heavy compression springs..and OE top out springs in mine with the OE oil weight.

What you do to change travel from 80 to 100mm is drain the oil, drop the lowers, take off the top out springs off the bottom of the push rod, reinsert the compression springs and then add the top out springs to the top of the spring stack.
