I have a 2006 125SX that I am going to use in a harescrambles race here in a few weeks. I probably won't have an opportunity to dial my suspension in for these conditions before the race. I have never raced a harescramble race either, so I don't really know what to expect as far as what I will be encountering. I assume that there will be lots of rocks, roots, and ruts to contend with though. Can anyone help me get a good baseline setting for the clickers, oil level, etc. for riding in such conditions? Here is what I am using right now, I haven't had a chance to get this on a track either, so this is my almost stock baseline settings:
Fork:
Comp 19
Reb 18
Spring 4.2N/mm(stock)
Oil Level 100mm

Shock:
HSComp 2.5
LS Comp 16
Reb 21
Spring 72N/mm(stock)
Static 38mm
Race 114mm

I weigh 180, no gear.

I figure that I should slow the rebound and soften the compression. Possibly lower the oil level as well, but how much?

I could be totally wrong ,but i would think you will need to lower the oil level to the minumum and also reduce the compression to minimum as well.That will eb the only way to get them to move on woods type terrain.
