Thanks for the help in my other thread.

What I would like to know is a good place to start with setting up the suspension. I don't have an owners manual coming with the bike (1997 KDX 220) so I'm not sure the stock settings for the bike.

I'm 5'10" 200 LBS. I ride woods, trails and powerlines. so tight stuff to rutted trails. I'm not too aggressive anymore, but getting there. I also will in a field, run flat out.

Now I KNOW I will need to mess with the settings from stock or whatever is suggested. I just want some advice as to where to start. I want to ride and not have to screw around for a few hours just to get to ride...

Thanks in advance!!!

Chris

Go to frpoffroad.com, there is a guide there. I do 8 clicks out on both shock adjusters and 8 out on forks, but my forks are modified. Good luck!

I have a '97 200 and am right at your weight (200lbs). I use a 5.1 shock spring, 13c,12r

Forks have .44 springs, 6c, 100mm oil level.
This might help point you in the direction you want. Good luck.
