Recently purchased a new 2006 RMZ 250. Trying to make the most of the stock suspension, so I need any advice or settings that you guys have used in the past to get the most out of the stock components.
Currently the forks feel very harsh (after three break in rides). They don't bottom, no head shake, but feel terrible in the small chatter bumps. The forks feel stiff and fatigue my wrists after only 20 minutes into a moto. I made some small clicker changes to the compression, but it didn't seem to help very much...Next plan is to test different sag settings and change the oil (and maybe oil level). Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Curent settings:
145 lb rider
Stock springs (close to correct, not perfect, but close)
100mm sag
Forks:
COMP - 12 clicks out
REB - 10 clicks out
Shock:
COMP - 12 clicks out
REB - STD

When you change your oil....remove the bladder in these forks. This is the main cause of your harshness in choppy bumps.

It's been discussed on these forums a dozen times. Do a quick search and you'll find a how to.
