on my 91 i was wondering if i could use a set of springs out of a 96 on my 91 and if they would fit and maybe alittle stiffer? sorry its a kdx 200 that might help. looking for a cheap way to stiffen up the front end, thanks guys!!

Yep. a little stiffer. You're going from a .30 to .35 IIRC.... The info's on Fredette's site
I have a spare set if you need...

Are we talking a noticable diffrence in stiffness? I looked and for my weight i should have a .38 spring?

not sure if it's a huge difference or not as I did a fork swap before installing them... Someone out there knows though

the only thing i did was make new spring spacers about 3/4 of and inch longer and used 10wt oil. i think im going to try to add alittle more oil and see what happens. i know you can only go so far with oil. so we shall see what happens before i wanna spend money on new springs.

Yes. The 1995+ KDX200/200R fork springs will work in the 1986 - 1992 KDX200 forks. As always, check the preload. The stock oil weight is 10.

It is not 1991 anymore, so don't go crazy with the preload.

.35 is closer to .38 than .30 is. The stock .30 springs are good for patio screen doors, and that is about it. :lol:

Got it,
18.40 to you
so a total of 43.40
That's the cheapest shipping I could get, It comes with a tracking # and is insured. I think it's 5 business days
