[QUOTE="zsr, post: 69341, member: 22313"] If I might add the weight of my experience to your argument. I too noticed how the magazines argue for stiffer springs to give a plusher ride. Being stupid, I tried it on his CR125 1n 1998. Several weeks (& crashes) later, my son could take it no longer. We spent half a day at a track with a suspension guru. How he laughed. He didn't just go back to the stock springs, he went one lighter, front and rear, (my son at that time was about 150lb and top 6 club rider) as well as revalving. The best tip he gave me was that whatever sort of riding you do, however fast you are, the suspension should just (only just) bottom out on the most demanding section. Consequently my son learnt to turn a bike so tightly it was beyond the comprehension of those that saw his improvement, whereas before, even on the stock springs, he would constantly run wide. Soft may not be 'cool' but unless you plan on casing a 100' double, I think you'll be quicker. Now if only we could sort this poxy 250 !! :) ------------------ 98 CR125 01 CR250 99YZF R1 Thanks to: Motorex / D.I.D. / Vesrah / YES Helmets [/QUOTE]
