johnr3 Posted September 26, 2005 Hello my name is John and I am very new to the dirtbike scene and had a question. First off I would like to tell you about myself and my present situation. I am not that new to the off-road world, I have ridden quads for some number of yrs now, last being a Honda Trx450R. I just recently jumped to dirtbikes just to see how fun all my friends say they are, and now after buying one I believe them. I am 6'2 and I weigh 240lbs(with all my gear). I own an 05 crf250x, I know that it may be a small bike for my size but its my first ever dirtbike. I ride trails, some mx, and some street, but mostly trails. Getting to the point, I would like to know what I should do to my bikes suspension to benefit me. Thank you all for your input. If there is something I left out let me know and I will post right away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnr3 Posted September 27, 2005 Thank you for your reply, I have a couple of questions now. Where should I get my springs from and how heavy should I go? Thanks again, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockdoc Posted September 27, 2005 I've been getting my springs from Cannon Racecraft for several years. Check out their ad at the top of these threads. I would go with a 6.2 on the rear and .50's up frt. doc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
