When braking, the front suspension seems softer than it used to be. what can be done?
SOURCE: how do i adjust my rear suspension , i want to
Looking the service manual on an 04 shows two seperate adjustment screws. One for adjusting the rebound dampening and the other for adjusting the compression dampening of your rear shock. The front has the same set up for each side of the fork. (2 pistons in front and 1 in back). If you look at the top of the rear shock on the right side of the bike, you should see an adjustment screw. That is the compression dampening screw. You should feel a definate click when you turn the screw to let you know how much you have changed it. Looking toward the bottom of the shock, you should see a screw labeled RBN. That is the rebound dampening adjustment. I would adjust the compression dampening first and then the rebound. Compression takes care of the initial part of the bump while the rebound slows the shock on the return to neutral. If the rebound is set to high, you will feel like the bike is trying to toss you off the bike like a bull. If the compression is too high, you will feel like somebody is kicking you in the arse.
Hope this helped. You should be able to find that 04 KX 250 service manual at:

I know you have an 06, but I'm sure it's very similar.
Good Luck

most bikes you dont need any special tools, a c clamp will do to press in the caliper pistons. takes about an hour to do.

I hope you have a jack... I had to remove the pipes and bags on my 04 vulcan nomad so I remove the cotter pin and pull the axle out of the rear hub. Then removed the spcer and rear brake. slide wheel assy. out of the drive hud on the left (removal of brake and spacer allow this) and drop the tire down. It's not hard...
