Welcome to the forum! You might be interested in this thread. It's not about fork springs but it allows you to adjust how stiff/loose you want the suspension. hope that helps.

well, keep it to yourself, last thing I need is temptation

that being said, I'm interested in this too, I think the front end dives way too much under even moderate braking, and I'd like to firm it up a bit.

That's one of the nicest standup wheelies I've ever seen on a 250, props to you.

Ditto on the question though... My front end feels a little squishy but I don't want to go to a full teeth shattering race setup. Richard, Matt... any suggestions?

use a race-tech emulator and springs-they will sent you right spring for your weight-day and night runs about 200.00 for both

Nice wheelie.

Let us know if you get the cartridge emulator. I'm a tad too hefty for the stock springs.

I thought the front was to soft as well. I installed Race Tech .80 springs with Slingshot Racing preload adjusters. I weigh 216 and now I think the front is just right.
