KTM 200EXC suspension for Harescrambles

[Ernesto]

I have a 2000 KTM 200EXC and i put a ktm level 2 shock spring on, and the next stiffest springs in the bike from stock setup. I felt the settings were to soft. But i was wondering if my suspension will be stiff enough for harescrambles. Some tracks have some good size jumps and i dont want to bottom out when i land.

any suggestions?:think

Ernesto, what is your weight and riding ability.

Think first

Don't set up your suspension for the 3 jumps that you may encounter on a HS course. Set it up to work very well in the woods and then just don't jump the jumps. You usually spend much more time in the woods at a hs than on the track, so make it work where you spend most of your time. If you valve and spring for the jumps, you will be miserable in the choppy/rocky/rutty/rooty trails.

Just my opinion.
