Well I don't know how much you weigh? But the Ninja 250/300 forks tend to be on the spongy side of the spectrum. I'm about 155 lbs and I find it too soft for daily and track. My preload adjusters does help a bit will have them rebuilt soon though with maybe a custom setup.

If you like the stock setup that's good for you it's cheaper that way. Thicker oil helps make the forks firmer along with aftermarket springs and valving.
