OK...
As many of you know, I installed a KX250 front suspension on my KDX200. In the future I intend on doing something about the rear shock but for now... I need to get the front and rear suspension as balanced as possible for my next ride.
I'm 220lbs in full gear so the .43Kg rate springs in the KX forks should work for me. I do however still have the stock 5.00Kg spring in the rear. I thinking that since I can't adjust the preload on the front... I should measure the fork sag and then adjust the rear so that I have the same ratio of front to rear sag as recomended. Does any of this make sense?
I did some research already on sag (race sag not static) and everyone seems to have a different number that they feel works best. I'm still trying to find the stock KDX sag numbers if any one has those it would be appreciated.
