hey everyone, i was just wondering what riders weight the stock suspension is set up for. I have heard its around 130lbs. I weigh 180 lb. i have made some nice modifications to make the performance on my kdx a lot better but i am still running stock suspension, in tight trails it is okay but everywhere else it suffers.

I believe the 95-02 front forks are set up for up to 140 lbs. The rear is set up for 185-210 lb riders. But you can go onto FRP's web site and double check, he has listings for different years. I just changed my rear spring and it helped alot in the rocks. I went to a softer spring for my weight and the bike doesn't bounce all over the place now.
