    broken rear suspension?

    by ship_killer6666 » Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:52 am

    I am back from a hard riding day at the st-marcel mx track, I was riding with kx125,kx85,yz125 and rm 125. that kind of bike, and all the jump and that thing. My bike isn't in good shape

    my rear suspension is really soft, I think I broke it, how to be sure?

    What SAG is all about:

    Easy steps to setting it:

    Some of the info in the article won't apply to the 150 as the 150 does not have clickers on the suspension. However, setting your sag is still important to the extent that it will help "balance" the bike correctly under your riding weight/style. You may not be able to set the sag properly if you are too big/heavy for the bike, but you should give it try. Because of your size, as compared to what the bike was designed for, you may need to invest in a heaver spring/rear shock if you are going to keep the bike.

    you really have only one choice suck up to mom and dad and get a bigger bike ..........the CRF150R would be the way to go for now as it is about 2000 dollars cheaper than a 250r , much better bike for what you like for riding style and the suspension will blow you away compared to the 150F

    used crf250R or used yzf250

    depend on the money :(

    forget about 150R if I buy a new bike I want to keep it to at least 2 year
