Okay so my question is... Will the .40 XR400 springs from 2000-2002 work in an "E" series KDX200 or are the fork diameters different? Can I only use 95-05 KDX200/220 springs?Indawoods wrote: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
*I make no guarantees as to fit...

So I read about 100 threads on the XR fork springs and I still didn't find a definitive answer to my question. This was the closest I found:

I thought so. Thank you for clarifying. I do not have any idea what springs are in there now. Is there a number that I can look for to see if anyone has already upgraded them. I'm pretty sure they are stock just because of the stock spacers still being present.
Anyone have a set of .40 XR400 springs lying around?

Done it ; 2001 KDX200 with XR400 97 0.38 springs OME air chamber [95mm] 5weight fork oil, spacer length 28mm now . 75 kilo rider works well its a bush bike gnarly pipe ,forestry roads ,logging tracks wildlife tracks or blazen a track.I could play with 5-10ml less on the oil level yet out of curiosity but another time . Unlike my searching its all there all of it , exept to say after 2000 xr spring rates got 0.40 and progressed to 0.42 more recently I reckon like many this is a good budget mod and with the right bars the bike dont plow any more its pretty balanced . My sack is in comfort . OME 0.35 replaced. These work well in pre 95 KDX as uprate for they to progressed in spring rates through the years from very low rates but longer springs, but my ome springs have dibs on them from my hand it down pressure 15yo,classic,lol. 2 strokes are a hoot to all. Fill em with spring length not steel tube . OME spacers are 90mm long. I got one still.
