Hybrid Fork Tuning

Post by victor »

I am getting ready to start on my Hybrid coversion. I will be using a 2001 KX 125. I do not know much about fork tuning or rear shock tuning for that matter. if I wanted to ship my forks out to get tuned for woods riding, where would be the best place to send them to?

I would like to hear from some of the guys that already did the conversion and what suspension mods they did for the woods.

thanks

All I did was remove 3 of the largest shims in each shim stack and she was golden.... It really depends on how they are when you get it done and ride it.

Indawoods,
I also have a set of 1998 KX 125 forks that look like they are in much better shape then the 2001 forks. Am I better off sticking with the 2001's or are the 98's just as good?

Usually the newer the better.... I am far from an expert on the various years.
