I just got a set of XR250 springs off ebay for $1 plus shipping.
The XR250 and XR400 shares the same size forks and frame
Racetech specs this XR250 stock spring as .398 kg/mm which should be
right about what I need for my weight (~190lbs with gear and hyd pack ).
It should still be a reasonably nice ride. The stock shock spring should be good for me. I'm a 35 year old trail rider not a racer...
The XR400 has a softer .382 kg/mm spring which would be OK for a slightly lighter rider, but you'll need a softer shock spring too.
Try the XR250 springs if you still have trouble finding 400 springs. Honda probably made alot more XR250s than XR400s also.

Xr600 93-00 : .41
Xr600 85-92 : .42
Xr650L 93-02: .44
Xr400 00-02 : .40
Xr400 96-99 : .38
It’s the 1996-99 0.38kg/mm XR400 springs that are interchangeable and commonly used in 1995 to 2005 KDX200/220s
The stock 1995 to 2005 KDX 200/220's springs are commonly used to replace the 1989 to 1992 KDX springs, they are a good fit and give much more support in these models.
The Stock KDX spring rate depends on the year of the KDX. The 89-92 KDX's had a .29 spring rate stock. The 95-04 KDX's have a .35 spring rate.
If you have the older KDX200s like the 93-94s with the 41mm forks, you may be able to use the springs from the Xr250s. Same diameter forks.
Xr250 96-02 : .35
Xr250 90-94 : .40
Xr250 86-89 : .38
