Question for Jeremy

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: BermBuster---------------------

I recently purchased a stiffer spring for my 2000 CR250. I bought a 5.2 from MX-Tech about 2 months ago. Well, I love the way the rear handles now, however, I noticed that the front -end feels a little loose. ( i'm 6'2" 205 lbs )

Maybe its that the bikc is only 4 months old and is just now getting broke in. I don't know, but I am willing to send my forks to you if you think that stiffer springs and revalve will put my Showa in the class of the 2002 suspension everyone is raving about.

Any thoughts on this to get me started will be appreciated.

hey bermbuster
Jer is out of the country for a while .As one of his associate's i will gladly give
my opinion on your suspension needs.
if you did not get the matching fork springs.46 your front end will definatly
be falling short. balancing out the bike will be the first step to better susp .
performance. as for revalving, the front and rear should be done together
for best results.:D

Thanks Shaggy, I'll look into the re-valve later. However, I'm going to order some .46 sprints for the front legs per your advice.

Thanks again.
