Does the 19 kx450 take the same shock spring as any other previous year? I need a super stiff shock spring cause I'm one heavy ass dirtbike rider and the guy at race tech said a 6.0 was the stiffest they made. Which will probably be plenty stiff but he said something about because they changed the linkage. I was just wondering cause I could of sworn I read online a while back that it took previous year springs. I'm not saying I dont trust race tech, I'm just curious cause of other stuff I read. Any help much appreciated.

I got a 6.3 from factory connection. Worked just fine. They said it was similar to the existing honda shock as far as spring dimensions.

Do you know what's the most stiff rate Factory Connection offers?

I'm selling a new 6.0 Racetech spring for a 19 KX in bazaar. Make me an offer!

The new spring is actually shorter than the old ones, I think ML mistyped. It's the same spring that's on the 17+ CRF and 18+ RMZ.
