Ok I figure this would be the place to ask. I bought what was supposed to be some XR400 springs from a drn member (hondaxrguy) and figured they were the right springs. I haven't had time to mess with them so they've just been sitting around. I went to install them today and everything was going good until I decided to measure them! They were 470mm and not the 530mm I had expected!?
The manual says the stock springs measure 457mm & you say they measure 470mm right?! who's right? The springs that I removed were 470mm, but I dont know if those are stocker's or what. I'm assuming they are. Anyways, so now I have no clue if the spring is stiffer or if it is an aftermarket XR spring or an XR250 spring or what the hell is goin' on. Did this guy screw me over or what is goin' on?
**edit - Just to clear up I do not want to think this guy would screw me over. I think it is very possible that it was an honest mistake on his part, he does not seem to be the type who would purposly send the wrong stuff!! The main goal is to find out what the springs are (IE XR250).
