Message: [QUOTE="skipro3, post: 613106, member: 37632"] The KX rear shock won't bolt up to the KDX in stock form. It is too long and will hit the swing arm. I tried. There may be some rods to modify, but why bother? The shocks are basicly the same anyway. Play with the preload (sag) and go with that. The KDX rear suspension is as good as it gets in stock form for the average weight rider and has compression / rebound adjustments. I have found that the settings are critical to good performance. For me, at 175lbs and KX125 front suspension, it is 12 clicks on the top from full out and 3 clicks on the bottom from full out. I recommend you make adjustments from full out instead of full in. An agressive hand trying to get one more click in will damage the shock. It is obvious when you have turned full out, but not full in. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
