Please help! I've just bought my son an 01 YZ125. The bike is stock and hardly turned a wheel since new - but we don't have a manual.
I'm told the race sag should be 100mm and have set it that for a start. He weighs around 145-150 without his gear so probably rounds off at just under 160.
Can anyone tell me if the sag is correct or if it can be improved. Also any help with suggested compression and rebound settings for the spring and the forks would be really appreciated.
The kid is only 14 and although he rides both quick and safe he isn't mechanically minded. He can tell me if he doesn't like a particular set-up but is not much good at giving me feedback on where the settings should be.
I'm happy to fine tune things as we go along but it would be nice to have some input from any riders or Dad's with experience of the YZ.
