I finally got to ride the new 250 EXC this weekend and boy is the suspension stiff! I think I may not weigh enough (140 lb) for the springs which came on the bike. The KTM parts list has alternative springs available, all of which are progressive rates, but they don't say what rider weight each spring is good for. Stock springs are .4 kg forks, and PDS02 for the rear. The shock spring also comes in two lengths, 250 mm and 265 mm. Does anyone have suggestions on how to figure which springs to get? Also, how long does it take for the suspension to break-in? Maybe it will get a little softer, I've only got 55 miles (tight woods, whooped sand trails, and a few laps around the MX track). Thanks :)
