jbehunin:
Ok.... Thanks!!!!
whitedog:
Would you be interested in selling the stock spring? I think my bike has a harder than stock spring in it.
How do you tell what u got? The coils in mine are 12 mm dia
meangreen500:
I got 5.2 springs for the forks and 7.2 for the shock, love the setup

WOUpf59,,, I was close to your weight a few weeks back,,, 265, and I purchased the racetech .48 springs, and they are SPOT ON! I have a 1997, the forks are STIFF in a good way. I lost 10 pounds in the past few weeks, because of the .48 (now at 255)!!! I had my rear shock spring replaced by Dave at STM suspension, and it is right on. My rear shock spring is for a 250 pound rider.
The suspension is now very good, and I am planning on loosing another 10 pounds ;) I am 6"5, and now have to work on the size 14's and the shifter.
sandblaster:
On your shifter, get a Hammerhead for a KX450f and order the one that is 20mm longer then stock.
It works good for my size 12's.
