Looking for springs for my 23 rmz450 with KYB suspension. Stock 22+yz250f should be perfect if anybody has some laying around.  Open to .46 as well. 

Even at 195lbs the stock .50 springs are to stiff for me to use the entire range of suspension. I’m only using a little over half of the travel.

By chance do you know how much oil is in them? I would think .50 would be about perfect for 195 on a 450. I’m 195 and run .51 on my 350 and just switched to .48 on my 04 cr250

I put the recommended 340 in them. They came off a 19 rmz250 and I guess the inner spring with the outer causes them to be super stiff. The stock showas are .49 and were close to being two soft so I thought the kyb would be perfect, but far from it. I flat landed, pushed through, rollers, whoops, even hit a am supercross track and still couldn’t get them to bottom.

The stock valving on late RMZ250 forks is ridiculously stiff. The leaf stack is almost solid. If you're in there changing springs I would do valve work too. I'm lighter and probably older but mine is valved like a cross country bike now and I really like it.

The box for my .44s has LRI-044 on it s0 I'm guessing you're looking for LRI-046 in a Factory Connection spring.

Well aware that I can buy new. People usually have stock ones laying around from a respring so figured I’d see if I can take some off somebody’s hands.

Yeah man, I plan on sending off after this race season. Just looking to soften it up a little bit.
