[QUOTE="exbee, post: 1387571, member: 118059"] Well I got a couple of good rides in on the KDX now with the RT fork springs. Keep in mind that I never got to ride it off road before I changed springs so I have nothing to compare it to. My first ride was on some fairly rocky woods roads at slow to medium speeds. Where I was still getting comfortable with the bike my immediate thoughts were that the front was far too stiff. The front seemed a bit nervous and deflected off of the rocks. I rode my friends KLX 300 with stock fork springs (essentially the same as the KDX250 front end) the same day and it was so much more plush and easy to control on the trails. That was the first day. The next day we went to another spot which is an old unfinished golf course with a lot of make-shift MX tracks on it. The ground here was a lot smoother and there were jumps and berms and flowing sections. By this time I was starting to get more comfortable on the bike and bringing my speeds up. The heavier springs felt much better once I began to push the bike harder and I started to appreciate them for this type of riding. It seems I'm going to have to compromise on the slow woods riding in order to be able to push it hard on the fast sections or jumps. Overall I'm quite happy with how the bike works. If I want a better front end down the road I'll go for the KX swap. [/QUOTE]
