Hard or soft

[cuban11182]

Is it better to learn on wheelies by making the stock suspension harder or softer? Also how many clicks are stock on a SM? I bought it used and don't think it was set at stock when I got it. Also how many clicks from the soft to the hard side or hard to soft side. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, it has a lot more to do with turning the throttle than the stiffness of the suspension. If anything, back off the rear preload to make the weight balanced more to the rear. but this could cause the bike to handle poorly. I would just go to a parking lot and practice, but that's just me.

I run mine all the way stiff, but I corner like a bat out of hell. on MT21's none the less, (I don't do any off roading anymore, waiting till winter to build the KLX-SM. at any rate I usually bring it up to about 35-40 Km/h (22-25 Mi/h , I think) let off the throttle completely and coast down to 30-35 km/h (18-22 mi/h) then bust the throttle wide open. it cracks it up easily. give it a shot, keep me posted

Stiffer. If it's too soft all the energy lost sacking the suspension would otherwise be lifting the front wheel. Ditto stoppies, but in reverse.
