TRX250R tech question

[whiteman350x]

Can the springs be taken off of the shocks? All I want to do is paint the springs and reinstall them. I have never tried this before so do not know what all is involved.

[Billy Golightly]

I know it can be taken off the rear shock, but the front ones I'm not sure about...

[x.system]

Yes they can. There is a retainer clip at the top of the shock, remove that and the spring comes off. You will have to compress the spring to get to it.

hey, dennis kirk sells a spring compressor.

Thanks, Guys!

BE CAREFULL THO cause those springs are under some pressure and will shoot out when the clip is undone and stuff
