kx60 rear shock

(1/2) > >>

chris-mets:
My kx60 rear shock is really soft. I havent looked into it yet but is there a way to stiff up the shock or buy a tighter spring? Or would a kx65 shock fit? Anyone?

ALso to run race gas in the kx60 do I need any mods or changes or do you just run it from there? also whats the changes it makes? more compression?

THanks for the help
Chris

chris-mets:
figured the shock out...I took the shock off and there was 5 adjustments so I clicked it to the tightest although its still kind of soft.

KXDINO:
get the right spring for your weight and go from there

chris-mets:
do you know where I can acquire one of those springs?

Hillclimb#42:
Check out Race-tech. When you go there find the Spring calculator, I think its called. It will ask you what bike, your weight w/gear and riding conditions, like motocross, trail, supercross ect. You can guess for the most part, at which describes you best. Then it gives you your stock spring rate and their suggested spring rate. You can get one from them or use their info to know what you are looking for. I cannot say for sure what springs are interchangeable on the mimis, but I know that some will. You might find a deal on ebay. You might also try to find someone to recharge your nitrogen. That will help your shock performance for very little cost. The best thing would be to have someone adjust the spring and to revalve the shock. That would set the shock up for you specifically with all of the adjustment you need. I would not overthink all of this though, if I am guessing right, I would say you are gona outgrow the 60 by next season, if you haven't already. You might start thinking about an 85 which will haul you around for a long time..... :lol:
