Default KYB Crossover

Hi All,
I have read that the reiger racing shock spring is the same as a KYB, anyone has any parts crossover listings for the springs/weight in KYB?
Looks like mine is a bit soft for my at 90kgs, but having trouble finding a reiger one.
Cheers

Where are you located? You can buy springs directly from Reiger, they are not very expensive (I think I paid 80 Euro).

Another idea to add, I recently ordered a spring from Cannon and it got to me within a couple of days. $119.

Get out your caliper/tape and measure your spring I.D. & length, and they will likely have what you want in stock.

(Try a YZ250 match, 59mm x 270mm. This was 10mm longer than my stock spring, but it fit just fine. Also, if you haven't measured a spring before recognize that the top and bottom I.D.'s are slightly different, in this case 59mm is the smaller end).

Be aware that they measure their spring rates by Kg/mm, and GasGas (at least in the 2018 manual) uses N/mm - which is slightly different. You want to make sure you're getting the new spring rate you want!

I'm in NZ, so pretty far from all the parts.
Do reiger have a parts listing or do you need to get in contact first?

I can send you their parts list if you send me your email address via PM.

Got it thanks. Hopefully I can get a spring in the 85-90kg range now. Also after the bearings at either end of the shock.
I have read the bush and needle roller are not "needed", anyone replaced them with anything else? I just put new rose joint swivels in but there is play in the upper due to the bush being worn. The needle bearing is new as well, they are 6 bucks locally but cant find the bush to replace

Cheers
