[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 687418, member: 16598"] Bob, get your suspension sorted out. I'm pretty sure the 220 is about the same as the 200 - set up for a 180lb rider at the back & 130 or so at the front. Even if you do the same as I did & just get the correct spring, it's worth the $. The previous owner of my bike had put gold valves in it, so it wasn't quite stock, but that was the first mod I did - softer rear spring - huge difference, even for someone like me who totally sucks. My husband is 150-160 & would prefer a heavier spring, but rather rides it with the softer suspension than have it unbalanced with the stock spring. I've got longer dogbones in my bike, so the steering damper helps with the headshake, but I know I've read 10000000 times that "once you've got one, you won't ride without one" & it's saved my butt numerous times - but I've also taken it off & not really noticed. My previous bike was set up for someone my weight & getting on the KDX I did notice the unbalanced suspension, hence fixing that first. Hope that helps in some way & if in any doubt, sort out the suspension first ;) [/QUOTE]
