Hi everyone I'm new here. So I have a 2014 monster 796. I researched and found these springs are supposed to fit my monster from the forums racetech FRSP S3732085. So I was having other stuff done at my dealer and asked him to put it in. He took the shocks apart and said the springs i bought are not the right size. I'm so confused Now. Is the 2014 796 different from the 2011? I can't find info on anyone else that makes linear springs for it and for my weight. Any help thanks.

 Call race tech directly as there website sucks. The shop that built my suspension ran into the same problem.

I called racetech once the Sales dept was useless no idea on anything. So then I went to the forums and found what I bought. People saying its a direct drop in. I'm gonna call racetech again maybe the tech dept will be better. They Sales said they only have info on up to a 2011 monster

Ohlins has springs for 796 and they answer the phone.  Isn't the Internet wonderful... 

I called Ohlins and they do not have springs for the Monster 1100 EVO.  I talked to Brad at Racetech and he said that they could make springs for me but I would need to send them my forks, turn around would probably be a couple weeks.  I might do this after the summer is over.

The springs for a DU-737 shock are not the same size as the Sachs spring? DU-737 fits and works on the EVO nicely.

We are talking fork springs. Are you talking about rear shock spring?

Where does your post say "fork".

what was the od of the original springs?  that's really all you need to match, as long as they're not too long.

damn your right I thought i put fork. I got my dealer mechanic in contact with racetech seems to be the easiest way to settle this.

He said springs (plural) so I just assumed he was talking about fork springs.

I have the DU737 Ohlins rear shock/spring which is sprung for me and setup correctly for sag but the front even at maximum preload still has too much sag.

'14 796 has the different forks (right to left).

Right side has a normal-ish damper rod and removable spring.
Left side has a trapped spring and pushrod, no damper.

They *may* be the same spring, but the parts catalogue doesn't show the left spring, so YMMV.

Interesting. My 796 was set up prior to delivery by my dealer who is an Ohlins tech and ex-National Champion. I'm 175# plus gear and he's 190#. The shock was ordered for me directly from Ohlins in NC based on my weight and riding style. He set the rear sag and was all prepared to tear the front end apart to get it to match, but when he rode the bike, he backed off the stock damping on the DU-737 one click and was satisfied. Both ends are definitely balanced, so maybe I got lucky.

No idea about the EVO but Skybarney visited a suspension guru in CA and was able to get his EVO working well with the stock front end. He HAD been miserable with the way his fork came from the dealer. Unless you are a lot heavier, send Skybarney a PM and ask him what the tech did and who he is. I can't recall.

If I'm not mistaken, the Evo front is progressive and won't give sag numbers as if it were linear.
