[QUOTE="Cody305, post: 1075148, member: 66418"] What part of WI do you ride? We live by WI Rapids and my kids grew up riding at Dyracuse Park(all sand) My son raced a RM/KX65. and was also small on the bike. Stock suspension on the 65 is terrible. Not enough range for tuning. One of the first things we did was replace the front fork springs with stiffer ones. Soft springs have a tendency to "dive" in sand and in order to keep the front end "floating" junoir needs to keep the throttle pinned, or go stiffer up front. I also replaced the rear shock with a Ohlins and this shock is very tunable compared to the stocker. Works Performance makes a good shock too. Oil levels in the forks are also a big thing. We ended up raising the levels up about an inch and running 15 weight oil. Fork emulators also work. Try and set up the bike so it sits even. (move forks in triple clamps) It may seem like it will be to tall for him to ride, but it will help out with the head shake by changing the rake angle. Hope this helps out. [/QUOTE]
