NEW KDX Suspension

[POHAKU]

I have a new 2002 KDX200 I have noticed that the suspention is not as tight and responsive as when I 1st got it. I liked it then now it is good, but not as crisp, now that it is broken in do I need to do some adjustments?? My weight is 160pnds, and I ride trails HARD.
thanks for your advise.
Aloha,Todd

If you liked it before and it's set in now ,try an experiment with the clickers.Check the sag for the heck of it too.

A good time (when it was new was much better) to check your suspension bearings....unitrack, swingarm and steering stem.

The grease job out of the box is notoriously bad. Doesn't take long to lose the bottom shock mount bearing.

Was sag ever set? Start with about 4". After it's set, evaluate your free sag for proper shock spring rate. At 160#, the oem 5.0 may be a bit stiff.
