450x suspension

[russellt]

I had my 450x suspension professionally overhauled last year , forks re valved and sag etc set up for me . Guy who did it thought the fork springs were very hard and may have been changed , I got the bike secondhand by with low mileage and didnt get the impresson the person I got it from would have changed the fork springs. We have set the forks up to be as soft as we can .Does anyone else think their front forks are hard or has anyone changed them for softer springs ? I weigh about 15 stone and use the bike primarily for trail riding and the odd UK trail bike rally .

They could be hard for your weight depending on how fast you are, the springs have marks on the top of them, look in the manual or tell me what they are and I will id them for you, I also have plenty of standard springs if that helps.
