How to change a spring on a WP shock. - I haven't once, not once in 4(ish) years of owing this KTM 2009 XCF250 set the suspension sag. I have been of the mindset - Just ride the darn thing! Well, now that I'm becoming a bit faster as a rider I notice that my suspension seems to be the limiting factor. So, I'm finally going to set up the bike correctly! I have swapped from the stock 69-250 spring to a heavier 72-250 spring. I like my pizza...I'm a bit hefty...so what? If I didn't weigh 220lbs(ish) with all my gear, the stock spring would do just fine, but I don't.

The other part of the equation that I have yet to address is pulling the fork apart and seeing if I have to correct springs in there...if not, that'll be the next adventure.
