Mx-tech

Presumeably there was a good deal of discussion (or at least a data sheet) that included your weight, riding style and preference for the 'feel' of it all?

Isn't the person to ask, 'What springs are you using,' the person putting in the springs?

Or, do you mean what brand of spring? Jeremy has relatively recently started using springs from..uh..springtech is it? He used to have a note on the front of his website about it. I don't see it now.

Another question for the poeple doing the work, isn't it?

Call the guy up! You don't want someone else's opinion...you want the facts, right?

FWIW, mx-tech did my suspension. I have .40 532mm XR honda springs in my forks. Well, I did ask for 'em.......;)

One of the advantages of having a good tuner do work on your stuff is benefitting from his expertise.

That said, each tuner has his own 'flavor' of things.

THAT said, I'm a bit surprised of a .40 rec for a 155# rider. It would be curious if, not having .38s, a rec was made for .40s. That obviously wouldn't be right.

Here's some alarming news for 'ya!

I just ran: dirt, kdx200, 155#, enduro thru the mx-tech spring rate generator on their website. It returned as choice for fork spring:

Your recommended shock spring rate is....0kg/mm
Your recommended fork spring rate is....0kg/mm

And the list that follows that of what's available indeed shows .40 springs as the lowest available for the 36mm kyb fork.

I'd be making some calls pretty quick.

No, I'm not a tuner. Still, my flavor would be: .38s would probably be better than .40s for you.

wink-wink..there are .38 530mm long springs available from honda for your bike! They are for a 1996-99 XR400. Have 'em setup with 3mm preload. Oil level at 120mm.


A suggestion for your monday conversation................

If you have ANY question whatsoever, get ahold of jeremy. He may be interested in a .40 spring rec for a 155# rider.

But then, maybe you told him (and maybe you are) you're going to run this thing on the track. I'm assuming you will use it for its intended purpose....a woods bike. If you fashion yourself as some kind'a jumper or something, a heavier spring IS called for.
