Can't seem to find anyone selling fork springs for older WP forks. Got a 07 250sxf that needs springs for my weight. Every site seems to not have springs available. According to race tech, I need .47 kg/mm rates for the front, but I can get the rear spring off Rocky Mountain. The current springs on this bike are for a 165-pound rider, which will definitely not hold my heavy ass.

You probably won’t find .47. You’ll need one .46 and one .48. Can you find those?

If I can find them, I’ve got a set of .48s from my 2006 KTM. Pizza and ribs helped me move up to .50s.

Not any websites I've been on so far. Dont really wanna go OEM to pay an arm and a leg either.

you would have to purchase 46 and 48’s like Soggy said to get 47.

I believe that those are for open-cartridge forks. Im 95% sure my 07 is closed cartridge, gonna verify my manual in a sec.

Yup 05-07 Closed Cartridge.

I have an OEM set of springs from 2013 cc forks off a 250sx. I honestly forget the spring rate though, probably a little softer than what you listed.

I found the springs, but your PMs are blocked. The springs I’ve got were replaced by .50 springs from Slavens, PN CSR43505-50 so I’m guessing they would interchange with Slavens part number CSR43505-48. Shoot me a message if you’re still interested.

I’ve been (slowly) having a difficult time finding parts for my 03 KTM 450EXC as well. Good luck!
