Thanks. I have a set of the KLX forks and the springs are softer than the rear so I was trying to get some balance. I'm running the stock spring in the back and wasn't sure to trust Jeff Fredette's spring recommendations since he was talking about the KDX forks. So with all that said, does that rate give you good balance or do you wish you'd went stiffer?

Looks awesome Nick.
I have a couple more questions and I'll leave you alone. (If I could PM you I would)
Are you running the stock rear spring? If yes, is the balance where you want it with the .46 forks? If no, what rate did you go with. I'm roughly same size as you and I don't mind learning from your experience.
Thanks again!

Nick, what size holes did you drill in your clutch basket? I'm thinking this might be a good idea for using with the Dyna-Ring.

Nick - you and I ride in the same general area (Calgary)... just curious what main and pilot jet you landed on after the RB work to your carb? Did you end up making any changes to the jetting after Ron rejetted it?
Cheers,
Andy

I did, but I think I only went down on the pilot. I believe I ended up with a 38 pilot and a 142 main. Bike is jetted PERFECTLY.

Thanks - mine is currently running a 40 pilot and 150 main. It seemed a little fat on my last ride, will try going one size leaner.Slick_Nick wrote:I believe I ended up with a 38 pilot and a 142 main. Bike is jetted PERFECTLY.

Old initial thread, but a good one. I'm in Calgary too, and picked up an '01 KDX220 for the summer. Where did you pick up the case splitting tool? Interested in renting it? :-)
