Please, can you help me with startup setting on YZ250'04 for me? My weight is 85kg(187lbs) and I'm 180cm(~6feets) tall. Bike is european version. Mostly used on hard pack ground. Thnx....

Have you any undesirable problems with the current settings?

 

[Jarda]

Yes, I have. I tried a factory setting (front 10/10, rear 11/12 - rebound/dump). Then I tried to change both, but I was not able to set it correctly. I'm not experienced rider thats why I asking for the 'first setup'.

 

[Jarda]

I remember - I tried to change a factory setting, because my bike is kicking me.

Is it kicking in the rear suspension?? i ask because most modern mx setpups seem to do this-i have only found revalving to cure it.

goto www.mx-tech.com and then to downloads and you will find the tuning guide-this will help you set the std suspension to its best.

I think, it is kicking everywhere:-) Mostly at rear. I will read a doc from mx-tech and try. Now I'm here: slow comp. dumping 14, fast comp. dumping 1, rebound dumping 10. But it still kicking - my backbone is hurt. We'll see.
