nevadaoutlaw, crank in everything you got , front & rear, compr. reb. preload, the works, I don't care what bike it is, just try it before you tell me I'm stoned. thats generic.
Suspension set-up
I've played with my suspension settings a little bit and found I could really get the bike to sit down and slide a lot more controllably with the adjustments, but it's left me wondering what other people are running on their bikes.
On my 2004 CRF450 I found that setting compression to full soft, and rebound to full hard with 3.75" of sag helped the bike a lot. I also went up (hard) about 12 clicks on the forks compression and 4 clicks on the rebound. These "to the max" settings don't really leave me any room for adjustments now though, but damn the rear end chatter really disappeared.
Before I go and have the suspension revalved to give me some adjustment room, what are the rest of you all doing for settings. :hmmm:
Oh yeah, I'm probably an intermediate level rider, and I weigh 190-200 lbs.

Yep pritty much, In the end the bikes still going to go fast, some setups are worse then others, but the skill of the rider to compensate makes a huge diffrence.
What pre-load settings do you guys generally run? MX-100mm, Road Race- 25-30mm? Or something in between? Please state what bike it is on.
Who does the best SM suspension set-ups for KTM's?
