Default 09 fork springs, anyone done them?

i need my forks done bad, but want to have them throw in some springs while they are at it. i would just order them now but i have yet to see anyone get it done, or atleast done with removing the spacer. any write-ups or info on this yet (part numbers would be great)? im going to take the bike to langston racing more than likely but i want to be able to explain to the tech what he needs to do to make it work.

bump, looks like this info is needed for the 09. if i dont get any info by in a few days im going to call langston racing and see what they might be able to find out.

Edit: i just check the moto pro web site to see if they list any diffrance in the springs and its all the same to the (06-09)

Dunno about the differences between the 07 and 09, but I replaced my springs in my 07 forks and shock.

I drained the oil and went with a little heavier oil and that was more than enough for my needs.

Just did mine, a ton different. Called John at Motopro, talked to him about which spring rate to use. Three days later the springs arrived. Removed the old springs to find the ones he shipped were too long. Called John and explained the difference in length. John stated these were the first 09 springs he had sold and he did not have the 09 length spring. He told me to ship back the springs and two weeks later the correct springs showed up in my office.

Again, the springs made a huge difference in the handling, no dive when braking, no wash out in the sand. Give john a call.
