Need spring rate advice for '03 KTM 450 EXC

[QUOTE="E-Ticket, post: 492959, member: 20985"] I just picked up my new '03 KTM 450 EXC. And even though I'm still on break-in and not in full-flog mode ..... I love it! Specs: I am *currently* 6', 230 lbs (nekkid). But I am on a serious training program to get down to 220 by Feb. '04 and ~195 lbs by summer '04. Ability: I am an experienced intermediate. Riding areas/style: 80%: I typically ride deep-woods trails in the Pacific Northwest - which means slick, rocky, crawln'-type speeds 20%: Will definately do 3-4 high-speed Grand Prixs - such as Elsinore Grand Prix. Ride pretty fast, fairly aggressive. 10%: Love to *play* on mx/indoor arena courses a couple times a year. I do jump - but typically nothing more than a very small double or table-top. 3-5' of air.... 5-20' of distance. So nothing big. Given that my weight is either: a) going to stay at 230 b) go to ~200lbs (Most realistic weight range is 205-215 lbs. with gear...) and I ride a wide variety of terrain/speeds.... sometimes fast, but more trail-pickin' with limited air... what's best suggestion on front/rear springs? Thanks! - E-Ticket For Sale: 2002 KTM 400 MXC $4950. Lovingly broken in, professionally cared for, in excellent shape. Have had ZERO problems. KTM Factory handguards, Enduro Engineering countershaft guard. TrailTech Panorama computer, Easy-Flo tank vent, 46 front springs and PDS-3 rear spring (also have stock 44/PD-2 springs), 13/52T gearing in good shape (also have original, brand-new, 14/50T stock gearing). Comes with spare EXC headlight/number plate and headlight switch. All valve adjustments and oil changes done on schedule - only use Mobil 1 MX4-T 10W-40 oil. [/QUOTE]
