[QUOTE="MarkWo, post: 786082, member: 50849"] Spent some time this weekend cleaning up and doing some maintenance on the 2002 KDX220. I do have a couple of questions on the rear shock and on the rear swing arm. Any good starting places for setting the rebound and compression on the shock? I weigh 195 lbs and am about 5'11" and am a beginner rider. I have ridden maybe 10 times on the bike so far and am much more comfortable on it now - actually got "big air" as my son said (maybe2 feet off the ground). I set the sag to 3 5/8ths and it is much stiffer than before. Doesn't "sag" as much as before when I sit on the bike which is the point I guess. I set the rebound 8 clicks back (standard from factory is 14 clicks) and set the compression also 8 clicks back (standard from the factory is 16 clicks). My front forks are still factory and I know I need to change them. Any adjustments I should make to them in the mean time? Finally, I went to regrease the swingarms and have a question. Do I have to remove the the grease seals and needle bearings to do what is suggested here on this forum - to grease the swingarm right after buying the bike cause Kawaski must use very expensive grease? Do I need a special tool to do so? Or, do I only need to remove the swingarm and apply plenty of grease to the inside of the needle bearings and and the outside of the sleeves? Thanks everyone Mark [/QUOTE]
