Default Fork Spring - RM 250 2001

Hey Guys a little help please....

The book calls for a spring with 465mm Free Length, mine is 472mm. That extra 7mm seems alot. I guess that's why bike has a v hard front end.

Is this a common modification or should I reset it back to factory?? I'm a large 16 stone bloke but over small choppy ground I have to grip the bars to stop them shaking out of my hands. 3 laps and my hands are clamped shut.

My mates CR is like a large comfy arm chair in comparison.

Any help??
