Should I jump on this deal or ask him to come down a little?

for an 05 with remote.

he should come down some... i mean thats a good deal, but not that good ya know? what condition is it in?

 

[Firetire]

like new apparently its a 550-575 pound spring. will that work for me? I'm 130 soaking wet.

depends on how you ride...is a member selling it?

 

[Firetire]

nope, its on Ebay.

Do you really think I need one?

Dont forget about your gear weight. I think mine adds like 10-15 pounds. From what Big D told me before, you can be alright on stock suspension since its setup for a light rider(around 155 i think). But getting aftermarket suspension is the first thing to concentrate on for track riding.

I'd say talk him down a little if you can. I'd buy it for $800 though I think. If you can get him down to $750, and it really is like new, you're getting a great deal. All this is assuming the shock/spring combo is right for you.

Depends on if you think you need it. Granted the Ohlins will make a difference, The stock shock is pretty good and you only weigh 130 - 145 with gear. Josh Day ran 119: at Jennings on a bone stock 2005 R6.
If you really feel you need it get a Penske. A used one can be found in the 600 range and the 03-04 shock will work on the 05. The part # are diff but Max at traxxion assured me it works. So I found a new shock for 630 on Ebay. Double clicker Penske.

Some people need the mental support of knowing they have a better shock. I did. When I put my Penske on I went from running 27s at Jennings to running 24s. Just telling yourself you can go faster knowing you have the shock on does actually work.

Even if its not sprung you can get most suspension guys to switch the spring and get your suspension set up for a few bucks.

I'd talk him down a little and snagg it.

I bought mine for $650 slightly used so I would say that price is high
