125 or 250
Does it really matter if you get KX 125 forks or KX 250 forks? are they same? and what about price difference? ( I know it depends on WHERE i get them, but is there a universally accept lower price for smaller CC bike forks?)

Proly around the same price.... only difference is spring rate. The KX 125 forks have a closer acceptable rate for woods work, usually around .41 or .42 where as the KX 250 forks will have a rate around .44 to .46

Hey, then. If I put 2004 KX125 gear on my 2003 KDX220 and I weigh 200 pounds without gear, are you suggesting that the stock 125 springs might be okay for me and my desert single-track? My KDX is set for a 150-pounder, and frankly, I kind of like it soft (it could be a little firmer, I suppose).
Please see my "Parting out his girlfriend's KX125 just for me" thread. :)
Thanks,
Rick

Stock valving on my 03 KX 125 forks is a little stiff and I am revalving this winter. To make them right for you and your riding situation, first you must ride with them to determine what you want them to do better.
Mine are actually pretty close just by messing with the clickers but there is room for improvement.
