Hey dezryder, did you just change the springs only, or did you combine them with some sort of "gold valve"? I was thinking of just changing the springs first, then changing the valving later on down the road, and if that's what you did, I'd be interested in the results.

 

Here's good videos explaining the inside of the klx forks

 

Nice informative video. Thanks or sharing.

 

Group buy for 09+ fork and shock springs anyone??

 

I'm in need.

 

Aren't group buys usually for a number of the same item?

What are the chances that everyone will want/need the same rate springs?

 

No valving changes, just fork and shock springs. The springs were a major improvement off-road, also eliminating the ridiculous amount of nose dive under hard braking.

My suspenders feel pretty good to me now.

 

The first video needs at least PG-13 rating, from 1:00 to 1:15 made me cringe.

 

Well that's good to hear. Who's springs did you go with? The spring calculator between Race Tech and Moto Pro is way different, so did you go with one of their calculations, or did you go even stiffer? There's a big part of me that wants to go a bit stiffer than recommended to make up for the lack of travel, but that may be a mistake. I think I'm going the same route you did.

 

Lol, no kidding eh, a crescent wrench, hammer and solf aluminum fork caps...what could go wrong!! My tool store sells sockets in singles.
