[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 154024, member: 22658"]
I have not ever really messed with suspension set up, but have some very basic ideas of what to look for... but really have no clue if I am "reading" what my bike is doing and relating that to what clicker to spin etc!

so - what are the signs of:

to much or to little compression dampening, rebound etc. to much/little preload/sag, wrong spring rates?

what traits would the bike show when things are out of whack?

I am attempting to dial in my 97 KTM 300EXC (bought it used dont even know what stock settings are), have made some minor progress but - always looking for more.  any specific suspension set up suggestions?  190 lbs plus gear, beginer C class enduro racer, trail rider.

specifically i am hoping to get the bike to do better in the endless whoops around here!  also - back end tends to kick up on sharp edges (rocks and roots)  i believe thats to much compression dampening (?).  bike tends to push the front occasionally (to much sag in the rear?)

any advice appreciated (other than sell the KTM - I love it!)
