Just wondring if anyone in that weight range has their suspension "dialed in" and what your settings were. I'm 195lbs andI have the front at 5 clicks (my forks have the 22 click range) but I haven't messed with the rear yet.

 

if ur airin ur bike out at all with that weight range their prob isnt enough dialin on this stock setup to get where it would need to be. i weigh 165 and i can just about crack mine in half. winter time she's gettin new springs front and rear..

 

Set your sags first if you have not already. So once dialed in with the correct springs, then ask for the adjustments for a preferred ride style fireroad. In other words, more info given by you equals better understanding from others.

 

I'm 275 and have my front forks at one click out and the rear at 3 i think. I left the rebound as is. Also cranked down the spring about an inch (got tired of hammering it) it feels better now and have no complaints with it at all, every says you need different springs especially if you're heavier, but i just dont see the need. although i also dont know what i'm missing on a dialed in suspension.

 

you have to set up rear sag first before you adjust the rear, but there is no front sag to set before you adjust the front, right?

yeah, the front springs will have to be replaced eventually, it's just not in the budget right now. I don't ride as "spirited" as most folks on the forum do so I'm not beating on the suspension. I would like to get it more dialed in as the better feel and response would help me as my skills progress in the dirt.

 

Mine is 4 out in front, 6 out in back, sag is 4". It handles pretty good.

 

front sag should be set too. Preload spacers are used to adjust the front sag.

 

any links on how to do that? specific to our bike or dirt bikes, that is....
