[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 123285, member: 20897"] Michelle, you are absolutely right about suspension setup, it is totaly personalized for each rider, and since KDXer stated that he weighed 185lbs, the spring rates I reccomended for him should work well. When I say to put .41 springs in the forks of his KDX, it is simply because this is the spring rate that best balances the forks with the stock shock spring rate, which is well suited to a rider of KDXer's weight. In your case, you needed the opposite direction, softening the shock spring to match the fork, due to your light weight. Either way, the key is to have the suspension balanced front-to-rear, and have the proper spring rates to match your weight and ability. In stock form, the KDX suspension is very unbalanced,as the forks are much softer then the shock, and suspension action and handling suffer as a result. And I didn't feel that you were picking on me, either:). This is a discusion, with different views and needs, and the more info presented, the better everyone becomes informed. [/QUOTE]
