Hi all,
pleased to be part of your forum,i recently bought a kx 100 big wheeler to learn to ride on,my young kid has a bike and i am hoping to spend the summer over here in the uk having fun,problem im having his i cant set my suspension to my weight as its only a kids bike or so im aggresivlly told by my local dirtbike shop owner who is the most ignorant man ive ever met by the way,(no names mentioned) anyway when riding last weekend i noticed the rear end of the bike was wobbly when hitting top speeds it only seems to happen when im going up inclines,the day before i attempted to take of the uni trak arm to check and grease it but didnt have the confidence to do it so i tightened it up the best i could without a torque wrench that i have now purchased,i have also purchased a manual and will check the torque settings tommorow and see if there are nipped u correctly.
anyway i was wondering if anyone has any advice on springs and a way to raise the bars.
figured there must be similier riders of my weight that have kx 100s

 

well what i would recamend is maybe upgradeing a little bit to a 125 or even a 250 4-stroke, a kx100 is a bit small, so therefor it will be extreamly hard to ajust the suspension right, if you dont want to get a bigger bike, i would maybe try getting a suspension setup off of one and trying that.

 

I know but its going to be difficult to try it without spending a fortune,really wish i could try a tighter spring for a test ride

 

Yes, a tighter sping may help, its worth a try. if that doesn't work i would try a suspension from a little bigger bike. i might be hard to get it to fit, but if you can make it fit it would be well worth spending maybe $200 on a bigger suspension set up.
