Default Is it as easy as it appears?

In the exploded view pics for my 2007 KLX250S, it would seem that all you need to do to swap fork springs is to remove the air screw to equalize the air pressure, remove the fork caps, remove the spring guide and pull the springs out. Then just put the new ones in and seal it back up and tighten the triple clamps...

Is it really as simple as that?

I tried the link and I get the following error message

I guess I'll email the admin dude.

Thanks for the reply though

Yeah it's that simple. I did mine with both forks still on the bike.

Oldphart just missed the ending "4". Cut & Paste malfunction, I'd wager.

I have been trying, for two days now, to call moto pro to order springs for the forks and shock and all I get is their damnable answering machine.

I think I'm going to go to someone else if I can't reach them today.

I did email them initially. John replied listing the fork and shock spring values he felt I needed, and he said to call him and gave the number.

That's what I'm trying to do now so I can order them but I cannot seem to get hold of them to place the order...
