01 rm250 suspension q's

[cordova527]

I just bought an 01 rm250 which does not have a rear shock. The front is done by pro circuit but setup for a 190lb rider and I'm 170lbs. When I buy a new rear shock should I but a spring for a 190lb rider and make the bike balanced or should I buy a 170lb spring??? Also would an aftermarket linkage do anything??

Get both fork and shock springs that are right for you.

Well I am normally 180lbs but because of my recent fight (mma) I dropped down to 168. What if I did the rear spring for 190lb and kept the front 190lb, would it really kill my riding?? I don't race, just through the local pits, trails, ect..
I really do not wanna change out the front springs.
