I just picked up a RM85 for my son. Is the sag setup the same as the 250's which is around 3.5-4.0 inches? Thanks

All the sag I could get was 2.75inches with the spring fully uncompressed with the rear tire off the ground. My son weighs about 70 pounds and he says the suspension feels good on the landings but he is a beginner and isn't jumping anything big. Should I get a softer spring even though it doesn't seem harsh to him? Thanks

If it feels ok to him, and he's not crashing all over the place, let it go.

Respring it, he thinks that it feels good, but doesn't know that it can be better. My son didn't want me to touch his either, but he liked the change. He also tells me to leave the clickers alone, so I don't tell him what I do. If he doesn't like the way it rides, he tells me.
