Got an 01 125, yeah, its not the 450 this time. The suspenion on my450 was dialed in by a local expert, but at the cost I really dont want to spend it on a bike I just play around on. The problem is it feels very harsh. I feel everything, the question is, what should I try to fix that?

correct me if im wrong, but you may be a bit large for the 125, which is putting the soft springs in the harsh part of the stroke. i think in order to take away the harshness youd have to go with stiffer springs that arent going to compress as much under your weight. at least thats how i understand it.

Well I dont really ride it too often. My brother has actually been riding it and was complaining about how harsh it was. So I decided to see what he was talking about and I found out in a hurry. I turned the fork clickers 3 turns harder and the shock all the way. It has a much better feel, for me anyways. He is about 20 pounds lighter than I am so we will see what he thinks. Which company manufactures the best springs in you alls experience?

Do you know what spring is in there?
It might be too stiff. Get the spring sites to find the correct stiffness needed.
ALso
TRy to adjust the clickers.
Then, oil height.
If that desn't work you will prob need a revalve.
If you need some .43kg/mm springs I have some for sale.
