Bill I seat of the pants was telling me just what you said I weigh about 150, I sat on a gentleman's ninja 300 at the track, and it seemed to feel pretty much the same way, not that that stopped in from buzzing around there like heck.
but I do have springs from the 500 laying around seeing as it might be the lesser of two evils,
I suppose I could make some pre load spacers about the difference
between the 500 & 250 Springs. (in length)

most recently with the stock springs I made half inch spacers on it, I seem to get more feel out of the front end which is probably all in my head.
like you said you don't have to put too much effort into it it might be worth more or less of an experiment in anything else.
just that I would need a ballpark for the preload spacers to start with.
and thank you for clarifying that that really makes much sense to me.
