[QUOTE="ghunter, post: 179213, member: 24983"] How does one calculate and/or decipher spring rates for an application? I am aware that most spring rates are in kg. which is fine, but should I just convert this to lbs. and get springs that fit my weight, or is there another formula or chart used to decide which spring to use for a given application. I don't mean a chart for a specific bike, but rather a chart that cross references rider weight, terrain, ability, etc. Or am I getting too specific? I need to respring both ends of my '02 Kx500. For my weight (210 lbs.) the suspension is way too soft and need recommendations. I mainly ride very technical trails and desert, no MX or SX type jumping, and I am an advanced rider. I paid about $750 to have the suspension on my Husaberg done by Scotts Performance, and I loved it. But I was hoping to replace the springs myself on my KX and save some bucks. Any suggestions? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
