 here's a quick guide on setting you sag, and how fork height affects handling.
I must apologize for a mistake I made previously about my race sag setting,
it is not 95mm it is 115mm
I had it backwards. When I set it up new I set it at 105mm by recommendation of a magaizine article, but I added 10mm of sag, in other words I took preload off the spring to lower the seat hieght, I was thinking the number came from the axel up, but it it from the fully extended position down to where it sits with you on it, duh, ::)
the number comes from the distance from the length from the axel to the junction where your side panel and rear fender meet with the bike on the stand
then you measure the same points with you on it in full gear, take that number and subtract it from the first number
this will give you your setting if the number you get is lower than 115, you have too much preload on the spring, break the lock nut free and turn the other one counter clockwise to take some preload off until you get to 115mm
if the number is higher add preload till you get to 115mm

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

The procurcuit link is 3mm longer than the stock link.

If you can get him to make it, I want one too.

Thanks for the tips. Do you have to do anything to the clickers before you set the race sag.

no clicker settings necessary
Let me know how much he wants to make it, maybe we could throw in to make several and sell them to other KX owners on the forum for cost + shipping, there are a bunch on here.

First I would like to say that this is an amazing website/forum :) I finally decided to join after looking for a few weeks. I am new to the two stroke community but not new to motocross, I am just now coming off a 2 year break i took to recover over some injuries and for college. Now I am in my last year in college and I decided to buy another mx bike and before i quit i rode a 08 kawasaki kx250f, but I didnt want another 4 stroke again main reason being the maintenance cost, so I bought a 06 kx250 and I LOVE IT!! i should have made the switch a long time ago :) I have included a picture of my bike with a few things i have added.



Sweet ride I'm on a 2007 kx250...i love that thing, I tamed her down a bit with a PC Plat2 pipe and a 13 ounce counter weight(spreads out the power a bit) .. :P

I love these bikes :) and i plan to eventually put a works pipe on there, even though it will require a lot of maintenance i don't mind doing it for that works look
