suspension help?

77irish If I recall correctly the 95 KX250 had a very harsh rear shock calibration : too much compression damping with still soft fork springs . The Kx turned well and was very fast but The shock was not very compliant . Race tech is probably trying to balance the bike a little better . That bike had a very fast motorand maybe KAW was trying to keep it from wheelying so the built a stiff rear shock . If you think you like the rear shock action the just try the stiffer fork springs .It sounds like you will notice a big improvement just with that . Maybe just do one end at a time and your tuning will be more focused. Anyway that rear spring may be sacked out a bit now They do get sacked out and can lose their energy @7years old spring might not rate 4.9 . Are you sure its the stock spring? GOOD LUCK DEAN

77 Irish : while youre thjer better take a look at the upper shock mount & tower , Ive welded up a few of these KXs the footpeg brackets crack also. CHEERS DEAN

irish. dont forget that you can tell if the spring rates are correct by measuring free and race sag.
