[QUOTE="evenslower, post: 849736, member: 25654"] I'm not the suspension pro you're waiting for but big suprise, I have an opinion :laugh: In my experience the rear setup on a KTM is way more sensitive to correct spring ratio than a linkage bike. I've had both sides of the coin. Too stiff and too soft. They both gave me problems. I know this isn't your first KTM so I'm sure already know how sensitive they are to sag settings. Its nearly impossible to get the correct static/rider sag with the wrong spring. Since I've had this issue before I happen to have a couple springs laying around in the garage. I'll see what I have and if you think its worth a whirl I can ship them out to you to try. Not sure what I have though. As far as the forks, I would think that if you're backing off on compression and still not getting the plushness the next step would be lighter springs or lighter oil if you want to experiment before having them done up. I'm just a little lighter than you on an 03 200 and I've got .40's in the front with 7wt BelRay-love the forks. Better than the YZF I just got off of and it had valve work done. A PDS 6 on the rear with a Novation valve-had a PDS 5 before and it about killed me. [/QUOTE]
