hey guys im only around 125lbs and am having trouble with the sag on my 2003 kdx. Right now i have 1 3/4" of race sag and it seams that if i keep lighening the spring the static sag gets bigger but the race sag isnt getting any better. i read that i need a 4.6kg spring but i was wondeing if there are any other options other than the $120 racetech ones?

YZ springs will fit. Look on Fleabay. Compare the part numbers for what you need, the KDX uses the same springs as s lot of models.

I have a like new FC 4.6 rear spring for $55.00 shipped. A 4.6 works good with the stock .35 front springs.
At least it did for my son when he was younger.

Are you 125 or 125 in full riding gear, with all carried weight (tools, water, spare parts, etc.)?
