02 ktm 125sx suspension for offroad

My 125SX set up for woods:

weighted flywheel from my 200 mxc (same part # as 125 exc)
MX tech revalve
7.6 N/mm straight rate shock spring from my 200
bark busters
radiator guards
skid plate
lowered subframe 5mm
shifter from my 200 (shorter)
headlight (lighting coil from 200)
Delta V-force reed block
Doma pipe & silencer
Michelin S-12 front
Bridgestone M-26 rear
brake snakes both sides
Scotts steering stabilizer (as soon as I get a mount for the fat bars)

everything came off my 200 (including the subframe) except the pipe and silencer.

Bud-Man, I'm running the stock fork springs as Jeremy said they were good for my weight, 185# with gear.

When I bought the Doma pipe from Gerald Langston I told him I was going to put the V-Force reeds from my 200 on the 125 and he said that I might have a problem at some point because they make a special reed for the 125 that can stand up to the higher rpm's. So far no probs and it works incredible. I'll cross that bridge when I have to. I do have a guy from the woodsracer site sending me a set of 18mm offset Factory R&D clamps with stem at a good price. Although the bike corners great now, I thought I'd try them since the price was right, I can always get my money out of them if I don't like them.

I agree with you though, suspension mods if well done are a better bang for the buck than power mods by far if the object is to ride better and faster(unless all you do is rip up and down roads). I did have a bad job of revalving done on my 200 a few years ago by an un-named company and their vaunted "valve body system". To qualify that I've got to say that the 98 KTM suspension was a hard fix.

This bike takes less effort to ride fast than anything I've ever been on, its a blast. We just got a huge dose of rain today so the sand should be good and wet this weekend, will be a relief to ride in something other than deep dry powder. I wish all the guys experiencing winter right now could be here. Day starts in low 50's and by afternoon we're in the high 60's/low 70's.

I grew up in the pacific northwest but I've been in the south since 79 or 80 and I don't think I could handle winters like you get anymore. It got a little more chilly here today and I need a jacket outside but nothing that would keep me from riding.

Its hard to believe that the new V-force is that much better but you never know. I'll wait for you to get one and report! I can't imagine this little motor putting out more power than it already has.

I hope I do like the offset clamps but if I don't I'll give you first shot at them as all my ktm friends have the 43mm forks.
