[QUOTE="yami99_250, post: 1054414, member: 69334"] I've have a 99 yz250 for 2 yrs now and have toyed a little with the suspension because originally it was way way too stiff. All of the springs are stock. I am a 150lb moderate mx and beginner freestyle rider. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to start calibrating in my suspension. Probably stock but I don't have a manual, anyone know what they are? Should I start playing with the forks or shock first. I'm not sure if my shock spring is adjusted correctly either, so I am also looking for a good sag height. As far as I know it should be around 10cm difference from axle to fender from slightly pulling up on the fender to letting go in a free-standing position, while the bike is level? I am very knowlegable with bike motors and just about everything else, I've split a few trani's and replaced shift forks and crank bearings, but am pretty far behind on the suspension details. I know it is purely rider preference but I could sure use a few tips. Currently with a stiff shock it wants to pile right through corners and doesn't soak up anything like it should. Some tips would be greatly appreciated... Thanks.. P.S. I also build very inexpensive freestyle ramps (a fraction of evelution ramps), 20' long (the last 5' folds up) x 8' tall, trailer setups with retractable wheels, and am working on a kicker and 50 ramp designs, available soon!, for Q's, pics, or prices just e-mail me... Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
