Joe-

Yeah, those KDX forks are EASY, aren't they?   Something else to know, is that if you want to pull the basevalves w/o disassembly, you can lay the bike on its side so that the forks are aimed above horizontal, and gun the B valves out.  (be sure to clamp tranny and fuel tank lines)

1. Yes, correct procedure.  You might want to add a mm or two w/ new springs as they will likely sack in a little bit.
2.  More preload = less front end static sag.  Less preload = droopey front end.  If you find that the suspension seems to ride too low in the travel, then try more preload.
3.  Depending on your spring weight, you may want 5 wt.  The 7wt is to slow down the rebound.
4.  If you can get Jeff on the horn, he will answer some Q's, at least he used to answer my lame Q's.   Make sure that you are to the point and have your Q's all lined up + ready.

Q 4 U-   Did Jeff suggest the 5wt at 130mm?  Just curious, he had told me to use 7wt @ 100mm.   That, was with the .38 springs.
