1998 KX 500 Purple Spring??

<< < (2/3) > >>

Timbowe:
I think the colour is cosmetic only.

socal_rider:
Thanks for the help.

I've gone ahead and ordered a new spring, a 5.4 Eibach.  Racetech and others recommend a 5.5, which I couldn't find, so this should do just fine.  I'll just have to keep away from the hamburgers and pizza!

hughes:
Do you know what springs are up front?

socal_rider:
No, no clue.  However, I have installed Gold Valves and revalved it, and I'm very happy with the front suspension performance.  The only reason I started messing with the rear was to get the sag set correctly.

socal_rider:
OK, I bought a 5.4 Eibach spring, and set the race sag at 4.0".  Static sag turned out to be 1 3/8", so I'm all set. 

I don't know what the purple spring was, but it didn't match the bike anyway!   :lol:

Thanks for the help.
