simonpick Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 hi i have a sherco 2003 125 and wondered how you setup the suspension for a 8 and a half stone youth rider? what setup do you have for jumping the bike around(bunny hop etc) thanks james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Difficult this as the rear shock is not adjustable, it may be possible to get a weaker spring? Set the sag at about 65 to 95 depending on what feels best and change the oil in the front for a lighter weight, apart from that get a custom shock made if you intend staying on Sherco for a couple of years.

simonpick Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 ok, thanks for that, what oil would you recommend? thanks james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan bechard Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 We put the lighter spring on my Daughters 125 as well as Ben's 125, then I swithced the front end oil to 2.5 on Christina's to keep everything as "balanced" as possible. Considered going to the fully adjustable shock, but the current set up really works pretty well so have just left it alone. Of course the weekend after I set the suspension up for my daughter from how Ishy had it, I ended up riding the bike, and I may be just a "tad" bit heavier than she is......
