looking for a set of .51kg fork springs for a 2001 rm125 with stock 47mm showas. If you have a set and want to let them go for a good deal let me know! don't want to pay $150 for a new set
lots of bike had these forks so early cr/crf springs should fit along with many years of rm and rmz and kx. looking for ballpark 495mm length and sub 43mm diameter. thanks!
I have a set of stock springs from a '12 RMZ-450 that had 47mm Showa's. I'll have a to check the rate but if they work for you, I'll make you a good deal. .51kg/mm sounds pretty beefy for a 125.
the internet says .48kg for 2012 rmz450 stockers so no go there, thanks for the thought and reply though brother!
it is a lot of spring but race tech seems to think they are what is needed to support my fat ass. Not going to be the fastest dude at the track on this scooter but that's alright haha
That does seem very stiff, how much do you weigh? I've found Race Tech to be a bit ambitious on spring rates sometimes. For reference I'm 13 Stone / 82.5Kg and happily run 0.44's
Im 220 pounds and i'm setting it up for A level Moto; I do agree they still might be a little stiff but I tend to weight the front a lot so im still willing to give them a shot. I have found that getting my suspension right takes some trial and error anyways so this is just a starting point; I do have some used .50's coming to try as well
Having the front end ride a bit higher in the stroke should also help a bit with the insanely steep head angle this bike has which has got me a little nervous
Thanks for the input man, everything helps!

I ran 0.45 or 0.46 at 230lbs.
From memory, the rm125 showas from that time were different length to honda or later suzukis with showas
I am having a hard time finding specific fork spring length info for the rm vs other models with 47's, I wouldn't be surprised if they are a different length as you say. I may need to just tear mine apart and measure them
