This type of question is asked all too often. It is a loaded question because so many variables come into play.

1. Where do you ride?? MN flat..........or out west in the mountains?

2. What is your gearing? Stock 60/60 or something other?

3. What is your "style" of riding? Cruiser? Boondocker? Flat out corner to corner?

All these items come into play when it comes to the helix. I run 55/65 gears, I boondock and hillclimb in the mtns of CO and Wyo and run a RKT clutch set up that works great with a straight 36. BUT..........it may not work for you.

Im riding 6 to 10000' Hillcimbing is my favorite Looking for track speed and backshift. Stock 08 m1000 162 SP -Last year I had about 48 to50 mph track speed climbing. Im 200ibs w/ gear .The set up he sent me is 36/34p helix w/ snopro green sping. From what I have seen on here nobody is running this setup if they are your comments are appriecated.

I don't think they come with a spring, at least mine didn't. I use the snopro green on an UBR M9 and run the straight 36*, although I think he reccomended the speedwerx blue. I love the kit, works great for me!
