05 450x suspension help/ suggestions please
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2009 11:45 pm
So, I've ridden my 05 450x stock for a few years now and thought all was okay till the end of last season. I've advanced in my riding while friends with KTM's with worked suspensions remained untouchable- I can hang with them until it gets rough and they walk on me, i can see them glide while I fight to stay on my steed.
I've STFA already and have looked at the Factory Connection and Race Tech sites and I can't find any concrete answers. I'm 200 lbs. and 225 with gear, I ride trails aggressively, and suspension is a foreign language to me. What's the best budget way to tune my suspension for me? Race Tech's site says stock springs are perfect for my weight- anyone agree? I'm working on a budget, but if this suspension stuff is all it's cracked up to be I may take drastic measures to make my bike ride like others do.
TIA for the help!
