Hmmm I'm no suspension expert but I imagine things like the make, model, year of bike. Type of riding you are an expert at all may help in actually getting some assistance.

Interesting, the US version has less low speed and more high speed damping.I didnt realise they did different shim stacks for the US market, i knew they used different springs in the past(US versions of Cr125 get 2 rates stiffer fork springs)
