[QUOTE="roosteater, post: 137820, member: 16970"] Hey all, I've recently picked up a bone stock 98 KX 250. I just rode it for the first time today. I noticed that the rear suspension felt pretty good, but the front was terribly harsh. I just about cringed every time I took even a modest jump. I think it might be due to the progressive springs in the forks. I'm thinking I need to change the springs to straight rate and appropriate spring size for my weight. Stock springs seem to be 4.8 in the rear and .39 in the front. I go about 225 lbs. w/ gear. I suspect that I'll need to get a 5.2 or 5.4 for the rear and either .42's or .44's up front. I'm a fairly spodely rider that rides mostly tracks with the occasional run through some trails. Anybody have any thoughts on what I should do for setup? I plan on purchasing new springs within the next week or so. At this point, I probably won't revalve. Cash is a consideration and I think putting on the appropriate springs takes precedence. Revalving will come later. Also, if I purchase new springs, what brand should I buy? [/QUOTE]
