[QUOTE="azcourt, post: 162771, member: 22942"] I ride an '01 KTM 520 EXC. The stock fork springs were too soft to set the proper sag without 1.5" spacers. I bought .48 springs and have only the stock spacers in with the proper race sag now (95mm). My problem seems to be slow speed rocks. With the stock springs and 1.5" of preload the slow speed softball size rocks were not noticable. With the .48s the rocks kill me. The bike seems to deflect off rather than soak up now. I have set comp from mid to full soft and played with rebound, but nothing seems to help. My question is what are the consequences of running the softer spring preloaded? The bike does dive a lot more with the softer springs :( . Any other suggestions would also be appriciated. BTW weight 300lb no gear, 8.8 spring in back. [/QUOTE]
