Hi,
I bought a 2003 CRF450R on Saturday, and rode it for the first time on Sunday......Ouch! My wrists were killing me. I weigh 150 without gear, and it felt really harsh.....Small Jumps, 50 foot jumps, weird in the whoops. I thought that it was too stiff, so I backed out the compression and rebound 2 clicks on both ends, and now I can feel it blow through the soft part of the travel, and transmit everything into my body. So maybe it's too soft, and riding too low in the travel? I thought I was going to be too light for the stock suspension, but maybe not. Anyway, I realize that I will probably need a revalve, or different springs, but your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
