i got mine in a close out sale table at the local parts shop..wasnt sure they would work at the time, so the 20.00 i paid was worth the chance...
they dropped right in, no mods. worked very nicely..they give the front end great action..not many twin shockers that you can hop the front end on...now i can kinda hop it...lol
i live at 5400FT, and ride at 9,000 and over. if i remember right, i left the pilot alone, and used a 105 main, stock needle in the middle notch. and adusted if needed.
doubt youd notice that much differance in oil wt, until you start riding more advanced sections.
try Bel ray 7wt..you can always change it..
i ride a bit more aggressive, and like action from my forks..if needed i like to be able to hop the front a bit if im in a tight place.
i run 5wt on my TLR 250. and 7 wt on my KT 250. 5 wt in my modern bikes.
KTM Sr fork springs work very well as a replacement, and are easy to find, they really worked great in my 348, Progressive made some springs as well for vintage trials a few years ago, they were my sponser,
i had them do some springs for the KT250 that i used to have then..
im running KTM SR springs in the KT i have now..they work very well. with those spings and 5Wt oil, they work almost as well as the forks on my old Rev 3
might take one for a putt. before you lay the cash out..the 4T is pretty much the same 2011 and up..some power changes...but for the most part they are the same.
i just picked up a 2013 4T...so far the best modern trials bike iv owned, i thought the Evo 290 was sweet...but this lady stole my heart for sure..spend the extra money on the T muffler..great power add.
power band took a bit to get used to...but once i got it down...i was cleaning sections like a pro
