Hi!
I just got a 04 kx250 with ?hlins suspension.
My problem now is that i don?t know if the suspension still has the stock number of clicks for adjusting?!
It looks like this:

Hey T,
Just turn the clickers all the way one direction until the clicker stops, start turning the adjuster the other direction while counting the # of clicks.
(if you start counting the # of clicks as you move the first time you can always just put it back)
I know this sounds silly, but... get a small notebook and start writing down your adjustments and how the suspension worked. It's way too easy to get distracted or forget where you started :wink:.!
And just like any other tuning, one adjustment at a time so as not to muddle your results!
You might also consider setting the sag (for your weight with gear) before making any adjustments. It's just so you have a baseline to start from.

Isn?t there the danger for the adjusters to fall out if i turn them too far?

Thats no problem. When adjusting, turn 2 or 3 click each time.
A simple thing I've learned is to count the bump going in to a turn.
If your suspension feels hard in the first few bumbs, its compresson.
If your suspension feels hard in the last few bumbs, its the rebound.
This a simple and ruf way to adjust. :-D
If you look at ?hlins.com, it could be they have a manual
