clicking the rear suspension
anyone play around with the rear shock clickers? i have 07 klx250s put 48 teeth on the rear sprocket.i weigh 200 and my clickers are set to factory i wish it would squat a little more on acceleration where do i go? i stiffened the front 4 clicks and i like that but i don't know which clicker to soften the rear. i don't want to bottom out.

The clickers won't lower the rear end. You just need to adjust Sag. just search for "adjust Sag" & a wealth of info will come up.

my sag is perfect. i just want the bike to squat more on acceleration

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. The clicker on the gas reservoir of the rear shock is the one you want. The one on the lower end of the shock is for rebound. I actually tightened mine to help land better off high jumps. Unfortunately, If you adjust it to Squat more under acceleration, It will also be more prone to bottom out.

^ He's correct. :D

Don't rule out reducing preload to get more squat on acceleration.

Very true! Raw horsepower helps too.
It's worth mentioning that excessive squatting is a waste of energy. |
i put alittle less sag on the rear and set the lower clicker to 9 clicks out, i'm running front forks at 10 clicks out and wow real nice , i guess squat was not what i wanted i thought by seeing all the race bike squatting down the straights it was a good thing. by tightening the rear i am far more stable on straights and turn like i know kinda what i'm doing.. i gotta remember this ain't a worcs bike and i ain't a factory rider lol

Awesome! The only thing you may want to consider is front end dive while braking. I fixed mine quite a bit by turning the front fork clickers in. It also helps when landing jumps. I believe I am at 6 clicks.
