OK, I've got a Rotec and am running way too much sag in the rear, about 50%. In need to get a heavier spring, but am not really sure how meavy to go. The Rotec, keep in mind, uses an moto-link so it becomes more progressive through the stroke. As of now I'm running a 500 X 2.9 spring. I was thinking that I should up it to maybe a 650 X 2.9 spring. Does this sound about right, or should I even go a bit higher?

Im not sure you can get a spring that heavy. Might want to check into it, otherwise you might need one of the newfangled rear shocks.

I wouldn't jump more than 100# at a time ...I know it can be costly but once you find the right rate you will be happy you did it.....and I have seen springs as high as 900# so they're out there but I really think you should go with a 600 first.....D

Definetly not more than 100lbs at a time- it may seem small, but it's a big gap.
