Default Preload spacer for KLX250sf

Hey guys, I tried searching but couldn't find the answer I am looking for.

If I want to change the preload on my KLX250sf, what diameter pvc pipe should I get?

Thanks!

I was hoping for an actual measurement. I wanted to have what I needed already on hand when I take it apart.
Thanks!

Here's a couple good threads.
Looks like 1.5 inch, but don't quote me on that.

I used a PVC pipe coupler and cut it in half. Once I had the proper weight springs in, I didn't like the spacer and removed it.

Short term fix spacers. I had them in for 6 weeks waiting for stiffer springs to be delivered. They lift the front end up to much & it feels like your riding ontop of the suspension. 120 bucks for new springs is much much better.
