Hi, At the moment I have a 2002 250 txt pro it has been a reliable bike, but has also always felt like a bit of a handful I have tried a head spacer with no noticable difference. A friend of mine has a 2003 bike of the same model, his is stock except for the 280cc head, which gives it more bottom end torque and softer power. I recently had a go on his bike and noticed how much more plush the suspension was and how much less it seemed to kick back when going over lumps. Since then I have tried turning the adjusters on the top of the front forks they seem to make very little change to the overall ride, not to be put off I now want to try adjusting the rear shock. As this will involve taking the airbox/seat off, I would like to get it as close to right as I can in as few attempts as possible. Please could someone explain the basics of suspension set up, as in which way to turn the adjusters to get what result. Thanks
