[QUOTE="dmcc, post: 1001128, member: 29603"] I can relate to wanting to "understand why", but part of understanding is experience, and it sounds like you're getting it with your description of your bikes attitude in the whoops. The front diving and the back climbing certainly do point to the need for stiffer front springs, regardless of what the common guidelines are. I'm no suspension expert, but I know how like my KDX to ride. I've owned two and ridden at least 5 others, and except for my current bike, I rode all of them with stock springs and heavier front springs (BTW, I weigh about 185 w/ gear). On every one, the heavier springs made the bikes much easier and SAFER to ride fast. My current bike (used) was set up for a 250lb rider, and even though it is too stiff, it is far better than being too soft (stock). My $.02 - Ride the bike and enjoy it, ride others with mods if you can get your hands on them, then if you want springs, buy them when it's convenient. And for what it's worth, taking out two of the shims works great! (Read the threads on that mod to learn more) [/QUOTE]
