Default What is the rating on the fork springs?

I see some are upgrading to heavier .42 & .44 fork springs and I was wondering what the stock ones were. Also, is it an easy swap? I've changed springs in older Honda XR type conventional forks, but never the upside down ones.
THanks.

Try hooking up to MotoPro site. I'm not sure of the stock rate on my 06 but was told it's more like for a 130-140 pound rider or so while the rear is for a 180 pounder. Not hard to change. I did mine w/ forks on the bike, cranked Hendrix, and a can of beer.

All you need is a couple of wrenches (12 and 14mm?) and a socket for the aluminum fork caps. They are very easy to swap out.
