[QUOTE="ewbish, post: 335112, member: 28176"] Sounds like my daughter. She's on a 99 CR80, same exact suspension as the 02. I have the forks set up with the rebound cranked one click of from hardest, compression is one click off from softest. The shock is basically the same, one click of from hardest on rebound and one click off from softest on compression, preload is backed all the way off as far as possible. She weighs about 72lbs. This gave her very close to 3 inches of sag. I would like to get it revalved and softer springs, but by the time it came back from the shop she will have grown another 2 inches and gained 10 more lbs. As it is now, the suspension works pretty good for her, soft enough to soak up the small stuff and corner well. More importantly she doesn't do the "pogo stick" on jumps, no back end kickup or front end kick up at all. One thing, make sure your chain is adjusted correctly. Measure the slack with the bike sitting OFF the stand. I just helped a kid out on a RM80 who couldn't get his suspension set up. I checked it out and it was hard as a rock at half compression. I sat on it (and I'm a big guy) and bike only sagged about 3 inches, I looked down and the chain was so tight, couldn't even move it. Kid said he followed the directions but who knows. I gave it another inch of slack and wallah! All the sudden he had full travel in back. [/QUOTE]
