2012 crf450 fork spg rate? .48kg? .49kg?

[cruzer181]

Does anyone have a owners manuel for the 2012 crf450 and can confirm the fork spg rate?

They call it out as a 46 N/MM which converts to .47KG/MM

For 2012 honda went with the stiffer spring as the standard. Stock is .49 kg.

My bad, he's ^ right for the standard 2012 spring. They do call it out as a 4.8N/MM instead of .49 KG/mm. Why they decided to change the format of the spec I have no idea.

But the conversion from Newtons to Kilograms puts you back to what you're probably used to seeing.
