Have a friend who is seriously considering an '05 Suzuki RMZ 250. He is a little hesitant regarding the suspension.
Any feedback regarding the best setup (w/out slapping a set of high $ PC works stuff on it) for these KYB's would be appreciated. He's a Vet A rider about 185 lbs.
Thanks!

He should find it ok overall-not great however, i would reccomend removing the bladders in the forks, preloading the std springs by 3mm more.The rear spring should be close.


With work the kybs are ok-a decent workman type set of suspension-not like showas but they are easy to tune.
