hi im trading my 04 cr85 expert for an 01 cr125. the last rider weighed 95 lbs and said his suspension was set up for his weight. they aren't sure exactly what they did to the front besides new seals and fluids. but the back had the sag just all the way up, and didn't touch the spring they said. what would i need to do to fix it for a 160-165 lb rider? is it exspensive?

Set the sag properly for your weight.. If I am not mistaken the stock spring is for a rider about your weight.

You are going to have a look at the top of the fork spring. It will have notches or something to designate what weight spring it is. Like yz said,stock is probably what you need.

how do i ajust the sag. the back spring supposably has not been touched. just put the sag all the way up i guess..not really sure what any of that means, never done suspension work myself.
