I'm trying to set up my '00 KX250 so that the suspnsion is half way decent. First off, I'm pretty sure that the shock spring is a progessive spring, and I would benifit by going to a straight rate. Is this correct? If I do change it, do I need to change the fork springs as well? They are the correct rate for my wieght, but I am not sure if they are progressive springs or not, and if I would benifit by changing to straight rate if they are progressive. Which leads me to another question: How difficult is it to change the fork springs? Would I have to empty the oil?
I don't really want to mess with my forks myself, since I've never done it before, nor seen it done. I called one place to see how much it would be for them to change the oil and seals and they quoted me $150. This seems a little high to me. What is a fair price?
