I ride a 00' DRZ400E which I take mostly offroad, but also like to moto quite a bit. I had the bike revalved front and back and absolutely love the difference this made. However, this bike is still probably over 265lbs (I have lightened it up a bit). I weigh a little over 180 w/gear and the stock springs are supposed to be correct for my weight(can't remember the actual rate). My questions are these, can I assume that the stock springs, especially after two yrs of tough love could be fairly inaccurate? would running stiffer springs make my bike feel a little more responsive/nimble on the track? also, would it create problems with the offroad/tight trail capabilities of my bike. Set up as it is, this is by far the best offroad bike I have ever riden. I would just like it to work a little better for mx.
thanks much for any insight
