01 CR250 Suspension?

[parker]

I have been riding an 01 CR250 for a little while, and I am
curious as to what I can do myself in regards to the
suspension setup. I have done nothing as of yet and the
factory definitely has em' stiff. I weigh about 190 and
am losing more weight to target 175. I'd like to avoid the
cost of a revalve or softer/stiffer springs. Does anyone
have advice on how I can soften the suspension for
off-road and trail riding? Is it way more complicated than turning
the front and rear dials out to the left? I can't sit on the seat
for any extended period due to the stiffness. I don't want
the setup to be super soft as to where I bottom out on smaller
jumps. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Parker

Parker,
Your springs are fine. I would hope you don't lose to much weight or you might have a issue with the springs getting to stiff for rocky offroad..

Anyway use my tuning guide and go from there. As a note a MX model has just too much compression damping, and turning the clickers out will not likely make it to nice, but I'm sure you can do way better than stock.

Regards,
Jer
