45mm front springs recommendation?

i believe i have .45 springs in my 04 te450. i still feel the front could use softer springs, the slow speed single track rock hits are pretty brutal. i've adjusted oil level and clickers as far as much as i can, i think lighter springs would definitely ease the hits..

i'm 180lbs - would .42 springs be too light? i'm riding mostly trails, enduros, general screw around stuff. 99% very hard surfaces (a lot of square hit/large rocks, etc. stuff - i replace spokes all the time......) not much jumping/big air stuff on this bike... (that's what the little bikes are for...)

I had the same problem with the 45mm Zokes on my '07 TE. ( I posted earlier with the same problem). I'm also 180lbs and ride tight woods.
Switching to .42kg fork springs (along with a good re-valve) solved the problem for me. The bike now handles the choppy stuff without deflecting and it has a plusher feel overall. No problems with the high speed stuff either.
I thought the .42's might be too soft but it seems perfect for my weight in tight woods riding.

huh? do you mean springs? i am confused.

How far do you have to pull the form down to see the size of the spring?

1) "Zokes" is slang for Marzocchi.
2) 45mm is the fork size

Sorry i was thinking TE450, but u must have 250 with 45s in 07?

thanks, the forks have been revalved, i'll order some springs today. did you change rear spring also?

I use stock rear spring which is a 5.2kg. Works fine for me.
