Front spacers

I have brought the kev spacers for my xtx however when i came to fit them they already had a set in , so i was thinking can i put both sets it and how would it change the performance of the suspension? When i accelerate the front end comes up and then under braking it dips alot even with one set of spaceres in. Also what is the standard size springs for the front just to see if they are an after market springs just to see if they are shorter than standard if so that could be why it dips so much. ( If anyone had an orange XTX 57plate I now have it )

ive tried putting in another set in but couldn't get spring to push down...ive changed fork oil to 20w which help a lot..the other oppostion is to try get up rated springs look at demon tweeds...i remember someone on here said they put in honda XR front forks with you can raise front with air or ask kev

If standard springs are fitted I would not fit more than 50mm length spacers. Sounds like you need a set of progressive springs.

I will post the spring lenght tonight Oz time.
