[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 69442, member: 16552"] I'm saying the springs were the same length when I put them in. After a few months use I took them out during an oil change process. That's when I noticed the difference in the length. Yes, each preload is set to 5mm (now)..but that means one spacer is 4mm longer than the other. I DO wonder about metalurgy and such..that's my whole concern. After a year and 1/2 on the stock springs, both springs were exactly the same length. My new springs were exactly the same length when I put them in. BTW..using the stock spacers, the preload was closer to 30mm. Don't get that part either, but then...I'm not a suspension wizard. Whodunit? I'll keep that to myself for a bit. I've asked him about it (email) a couple weeks back..haven't heard from him yet. I was looking for a point of view as to: 1. Normal..don't worry about it, 2. FUBAR..get a new set NOW. 3. Picky, picky, picky.... Oh...I choose #2. I want a set of newer XR400 springs anyway (I ride a KDX200). They are the right load (.40) and they are about 60mm longer..and there's plenty of room for 'em in the tube. ------------------ [list] [*][b]OLD[/b] member 'oh-oh' KDX 200 '86 Nighthawk 700 SC (a motorcyle even if it doesn't have a chain!)
