KX125 shock springs
Posted: 01:36 pm Jan 11 2011
Hello again.
Just to update, I have now purchased a full front end from an 03 KX125..just waiting for it to arrive. Once weather warms up, off to RB for the clamp/stem swop, front KDX axle mod.
In the meantime I was thinking of having the seals re-done on the KX forks just as preventative maint. so it is not down during riding season.
I noticed on the Race Tech site they note the stock spring is 0.43 and when calculated for my weight is 0.44.
Would it be worth changing over the to the spring for my weight or would I not notice the difference? I have read some posts that the KX forks seem a little stiff for trails, so my thinking is just to leave as is with the stock springs.
Any thoughts?
BTW, I already have the 0.44 springs....picked up at a garage sale. Got springs, a rear shock, pro-taper bars/pad, RM125 front/rear fender, bunch of assorted clutch levers, helmet......all new in bags/boxes for $75....couple of kids who didn't ride much anymore and just wanted to clear out stuff.
