This Kinda goes along with everyone!
 I have not seen anyone talk about the fork spring rate yet (I could be way off just let me know) I am fairly new to the suspension world but owning a KTM causes me to learn.
  I just bought a 2001 KTM 125sx and the suspension is very harsh.  I sent the rear shock to Pro-Action and had it revalved, but the front is still giving me a lot of headshake.  I weigh 165 lbs. with gear.  According to my friend at Pro-Action the fork rate on the front is way to soft to start with apparently it is more of a trail/enduro setup.  I ride hard packed mx tracks with a lot of square edge bumps high speed straight a ways and breaking bumps.  I was told that the front was riding to low so when you got on the bike you were already past the initial hit of the suspension, which causes the front end to pack. 
The stock setup is .380 rate springs so I went to a .400 rate and I lighten up the rebound valving.  This made a tremendous difference but it still feels harsh and I still get a little bit of headshake.  I am using the stock compression valving.
