In the bottom picture, this is from my 2001 EC300. It DOES NOT have a balancer.
Sorry, I don't have a picture of the EC250 from this side. I took this when I was
changing the stator from the 2K2 to a 2K3.

Back to springs. Do you know what spring rate you need? Also do you know what
is presently installed? You might have some luck asking the folks here if they have
and old one they would sell you.... or trade?

Without saying just how fat I am, I need a HEAVY spring....lol The one on the bike, will not adjust to the proper sag for me, I tried. I would be pre-loading way to much. Right now I don't ride fast, but will in the future before I buy a newer bike, so I would like to set this up as close to right as I can.

When I looked online, and I am learning this also as I go. I need a spring rate in the area of 7.5-9 or so....So yea, I'm a big guy...haha

Looking at the front forks, was reading something in the 48 range is needed.

I really need to have a shop do it, but can't afford the big money they charge to spring and valve and damper and what ever else they do, learning still...
