[QUOTE="jruggery, post: 791918, member: 40972"] I had the same problem when I put stiffer springs in my last bike, an '02 KDX200. I did a search and found that a lot of other people have experienced the same noises - kind of like bouncing up and down on a squeaky bed. I installed the spings with the bike upright on a stand and still got the noise, so I don't think that's an issue. I took the top caps back off, made sure that everything was assembled correctly and tried to keep the fork springs aligned with their collars and centered when I put it all back together. Then I rode the bike and the noise seemed to go away. So, I'm not sure if I fixed it by re-aligning everything or if they seated just by riding. Something else to consider is the spring preload. Often times springs that are stiffer or lighter than stock are of slightly different lengths. I would measure both springs with the stock preload spacer. If the new springs are a good bit longer, that may be contributing to your problem and you could have to trim the preload spacer accordingly. [/QUOTE]
