View source for EX500 springs option

[[Category:Suspension]]
If you are reasonably lightweight (check the [http://racetech.com/ProductSearch/2/Kawasaki/EX250%20Ninja%20250R/1986-2007 Race Tech calculator]) the Ninja 500 front fork springs from '94 and newer bikes might stiffen up your front end quite nicely for a bit less than the Racetech springs. The spring rate for these is .585 kg/mm (stock is .440); stiffer than stock, less than what the aftermarket companies usually make. EX500 springs are 28 mm diameter and 435mm relaxed length. Part number is 44026-1555, and they cost $33 each from [http://www.ronayers.com/ Ron Ayers]. So for $66, you get a much better front end feel.

Note that [http://sonicsprings.com/catalog/ Sonic Springs] now stocks .70 and .75 rate springs, in addition to heavier-rate ones. They will also custom-make springs to the rate you need.
