From that article -

"The shock on the second-generation Ninja 250 (2008 and later) is stiffer than on earlier models, but the fork still runs the same super-soft springs, and the resultant chassis imbalance can be problematic when charging through turns. We slid in Race Tech 0.80-kg/mm fork springs selected to suit our test rider’s 175-lb. weight, and replaced the fork oil with RT’s 15-weight Ultra Slick Fork Fluid to increase damping. The result is much better front-end feel and a big reduction in brake-induced fork dive."

Good place to start.
