[QUOTE="mg_racing, post: 88089, member: 23264"] New Member in search of help/advice! I just recently got back into riding and cannot figure out why I ever stopped! Anyway, here it goes..... I am 30 yrs old, 5'11" @ 180lbs and recently purchased a 2000 YZ125 and absolutely LOVE IT!! It has Pro-Action suspension and feels/responds great in my opinion except for on BIG jumps! The front forks seem to hit hard and bottom out at times. I can actually hear a fairly loud knock or pop when I hit hard and feel it in my hands/arms. I did replace the front fork seals and fork oil about 3 weeks ago because they started leaking oil after an extremely muddy ride and not sure if this has anything to do with it. I did add the minimum amount of oil in the forks that the service manual recommended which was I think 80 or 90mm of oil. Is this a normal thing on big jumps? Would adding more oil help? I don't have much money to spend right now because the bike and gear pretty much exhausted my funds, but any suggestions that I can try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! MG [/QUOTE]
