SURRON X (SPRING UPGRADE)

Just installed the RockShox Boxxer Stiffer Spring on my Surron X! Super cheap upgrade to fix the crappy fork that comes stock on the Surron X. Only cost me 35$. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Can’t wait. My coil comes in tomorrow. Ordered this before the Surron even arrived after watching this video. Already bottomed the stock one out too many times to count.

Just subbed, keep rolling out this amazing content! 👍🏼

[@First.Last.99]

Im the one who is a 100th like on this video, looks like a must upgrade, and also an easy one, thank you!

[@Kennedy-lp1te]

Excellent my friend, cheap solution to a problem 99% of people with a Sur-Ron have. Liked and Subscribed for more mods!

[@allwaysadventuring3544]

Yeah man, everyone has been doing some weird spacer hacks with sockets and pvc. I liked the idea of cutting it way better. I have that same boxxer spring I’m going to use too. What did you cut it with? Good vid by the way

[@Kennedy-lp1te]

@@allwaysadventuring3544 thanks! I haven't received my spring yet but I'll let you know when I figure it out!

[@fashionrider712istunthi9]

I did it differently. Unscrew the disk at the end of the rod attached to the top cap. Replace with washers an pvc pipe. Cut to different length to achieve different preload on the spring. I also made a video. ;)

[@fashionrider712istunthi9]

@@allwaysadventuring3544 there may be some binding/rubbing on the inside of the fork tube with the spring end now at an angle when cutting the spring.

[@allwaysadventuring3544]

@@fashionrider712istunthi9 I think I saw your video. I enjoyed yours as well. What do you think about it so far? Is it much better

[@BossManaatti]

That intro was cool 🙌🏻

[@1lifeonearth]

thats a great solution. I really hate how the boxxer and or the fox 40 cost as much as a used car .. .

[@FretsMcGee]

It’s insane

[@CoasttoCabin]

It really is crazy. I just got my Surron, but justifying new forks is hard when an entire used motorcycle can be had for $1,500 all day.

[@ryanbanks6686]

No...don’t cut the spring! Cut/replace the spacer. Use a section of PVC pipe or a 7/8” socket to replace the stock spacer.

[@MicahManago]

Gonna use this 7/8" Technique. Did you have to drill out your original spacer so it can slide all the way up and snug against the 7/8" socket?

[@joekirklin]

Just bought the red medium rate boxxer spring (I only weight 160lbs and the firm is out of stock). Thanks for the 7/8” socket spacer idea. Anyone know what weight oil is a good replacement for the damping tube?

[@Gassten]

couldnt you just use the original spacer on that taller spring?

[@eltk1343]

how you can replace the spacer with 7/8 ‘´ socket????? I don’t understand!!😉

[@studiotsunami3446]

could you just use 35/36mm volume tokens? from rockshox or fox instead of using a socket?

[@GroovyVideo2]

shortening spring spacer easier and better - pvc pipe might work - also loosen fork pinch bolts when removing fork caps - Damping on my Killah forks gone 400 miles - no repair parts available

[@MongrelShark]

Which fork did you get? There are at least 3 diferent forks that come stock on the surron... In Aus we mostly get Fastace which are pretty decent. USA I see DNM and FST which are less great. The DNM looks to perform a little better of the two.

[@unrealsoar6135]

What greese did u use for the new spring?

[@bienstar4349]

Hello wich grease did you use for the spring?

[@Herboutwest]

Anyone know if this is the same size spring in the DNM fork? Mine needs to be upgraded bad

[@MicahManago]

You go to WSU? Looks like Pullman by the grove haha I graduated last year 2020 now back in Hawaii. Chee! Go Cougs! By the way, how did you cut the spring?

[@deanojanikowski]

Yessir! You’re right that was right by the grove! I cut the spring with a grinder

[@MicahManago]

@@deanojanikowski Appreciate that brother! Good Luck on the season man, bring us home more W's

[@deanojanikowski]

@@MicahManago yessir will do!

[@MicahManago]

@@deanojanikowski What kind of grease did you use? My black Extra Firm 200lb+ Spring just came in.

[@deanojanikowski]

@@MicahManago any grease from the bike store! I used grease from the local mtb store. They just used the ship grease and sold me a little bit of it for 5$. But any mtb suspension grease works like SRAM butter grease

[@FretsMcGee]

I’m 105 pounds and I bottom out on every jump you think this would be good for me

[@deanojanikowski]

100%

[@kurtissmith98]

Try pumping your forks

[@studiotsunami3446]

RST FORK USERS: Quick little side note. I got my RST fork to work great! its definitely a better option than the socket or cutting anything but I had a X fusion dual crown where the stanchions are scrapped up so i took the spring out which happened to be the FIRM xfusion RV1 200 mm blue spring and replaced it with the stock RST spring that was much smaller and much softer! which made the RST forks feel amazing after i adding fork oil! Firm 200mm spring and fork oil with change the fork a 1000x save money on buying the fork!

[@sa2ah0]

I put the same Spring in was I supposed to cut it at all or move the spacer a spacer I just put it in and put the top back on... I haven't written it really yet so I just want to make sure it's right before I do

[@domlee1535]

This may sound like a stupid question 🤔. So the other fork is empty no coil spring. Could you put a coil spring in there too

[@deanojanikowski]

no that’s filled with oil for the rebound on the fork.

[@domlee1535]

Thank you 👍

[@unrealsoar6135]

@@deanojanikowski how do I change that oil

[@ptescreen18]

Excuse me for sounding dumb but this won’t work on the DNM front forks that some models of sur Ron have no????

[@deanojanikowski]

Yeah the DNM inverted fork does not have the same coil. I believe the two forks are the one in this video and the DNM USD-8.

[@garykrygsman1391]

Hey great vids. I’m 6.2 as well how’s the size of the surron? As I’m looking at getting one
