What suspension to go with?
I'm looking for a better/stiffer suspension setup for my '07 KLX250s. I don't want spend a whole bunch of money and was thinking of just doing front and rear springs. What brand do you guys recommend? Is there a company out there with a package?
Thanks in advance to anybody that helps!
edit - Since I've already posted this thread, I have another question. I want to upgrade to Renthal bars and was wondering what bar to get. I want to keep them at the length and height they're at, but I want some better quality bars that aren't paper-thin!

Moto-Pro and Race Tech do suspension for this bike.
To many bars to choose from. I've had the Renthal "Jimmy Button" bars and now have the Renthal RC high bar. Essentially they both add about 1.5 inch more height and a little less sweep. Ideal for me as I'm 182 cm tall and the stock bars make the cockpit feel cramp (too low.)
7/8" bars are what you need when replacing the stock bars. Like I mentioned though, there are so many choices. They're your dollars.
This will help.

a lot of us have the moto-pro springs. do a search here and you'll find their info. the best thing to do about bars is go to a dealer that has an assortment and see which ones you like best. Do a search here and you'll find a boat load of info. you don't have to spend a lot on bars as I have a no-name bar that cost about $30 and haven't bent them yet in 2 years and I hit **** all the time including the ground.
Alright, I looked on Moto-Pro's website and used their calculator that helps you decide on what spring-rate to choose. Is the calculator pretty accurate, or would you guys recommend going a little softer/stiffer?
Save yourself some time and aggrevation. Call Moto-Pro and speak to John. The guy is a guru when it comes to setting these bikes up. He is very nice, and wont sell you something you dont need. Tell him what you way and how you ride. He will sell you the gear you need.

I got my springs from him and they made a HUGE difference!
