    HELP have fork springs w/ hash marks (what's what)pics

    I am trying to help a buddy out w/ some fork springs for his Honda. I have 3 sets of fronts that I need to know what rate they are. Anyone have a Honda service manual or know what rate these are ? THanks, Shaun

    The 1st one is a .45kg/mm.

    The 2nd one is a .49kg/mm.

    The 3rd one is a mystery.

    A .47kg/mm from the factory will have NO scribe lines on it.

    An aftermarket .47kg/mm will have 1 scribe mark and then 3 scribe marks 75 degrees away from the first.

    interesting. I have NO idea where these springs came from. :) Thanks for the reply, I appriciate it. Shaun

    Do you think there is a chance they could be Suzuki springs ? That's the only thing I can think of. They came off of a stock bike, either '05 CRF450 or '07 Suzuki RMZ250 or '07 RMZ250. I'll figure it out. Thanx again
