    That has to be a joke...

    I have sold the exact spring for about $80.00.

    And as for the wear on the spring... I think it may have done a little more work than said..

    ktm talks shop online function is showing springs for the 2011 300 at between 165 and 175 usd except the 60nm which odly is 240ish they only list up to 76nm though have found prices on there to be resonably close to those at triple x once the exchange rate is acounted for

    You have to watch out they changed some stuff at the main model revision time which is pretty much every 3 years. I couldn't use the spring out off the 03 in the 08 bike.
    You should ring Danger (Greg) for a price and advice at Proride suspension. I haven't seem him on here lately. He did mine and is brilliant at setting the bike up for what you want. His prices for stuff are good as well.

    Yeah he done the suspension on my KXF250 springs and a revalve but the glory days of having the cash to splash around are a distant memory i'm afraid......so i'm just looking at getting a stiffer rear spring at this stage
