I re-sprung my forks, played with oil weight a little, messed with the compression clickers, but after the first ride on the KX forks today.. I realized that fooling around with the stock forks was just peeing into the wind.
I have a whole different bike now..

If only I could find a nice KX500 front end and I had the money for it, I'd buy one. I've read previous forums stating that a recent model KX500 front end fits perfectly into an E-series KDX with practically no mods done to it

Keep an eye on Ebay. New stuff showing up on there all the time.

I know what spring works for me, but when I use the online calculators, they're all too heavy, with racetech's being the worst.

frpoffroad (Fredette Racing Products) recommended a .33 spring for my weight and bike, which is a .07 kg difference from what Race-Tech recommended. So I would think the swap to the .35 kg springs from an H-series KDX would work perfectly, I guess I'll have to find out
