125-200cc Cr 125 suspension setup help?

Hi guys, i just got my 2013 husky and have ridden it for a total of about 1 hour and love it, but its not set up to suit me at all...

Its brand new, the setup is strange as its very tall (not sure is this is normal, im 5'10)
But the major concern is that both front and back want to follow every small rutt and the front wants to wash out very easily..
Any help on where to start?

Oh, also i only weigh 55kg with gear on...

rider sag set to 100mm, still very tall compared to the 2001 i owned, but then again it was nowhere near stock when i bought it, and was set up professionally for my weight/height..

Any ideas on where to start to at least make it handle better?

Even though your sag is set to 100mm I'm sure your free sag isn't enough.

For starters I'm sure you will need to respring the bike front and rear. The bike comes stock for someone who weighs roughly 160 lbs.

You need to bump down to .40kg springs in the front and maybe a 4.6 in the rear.

I would let your local suspension guy figure out your spring rates though. Some people on here run .40 kg springs for a 180 lb rider. My suspension guy thought that is way too soft so I let him decide, he chose to keep the stock springs in the fork and put a 4.8 kg spring on the shock for my 150 lbs. I'm really happy with this set up.


Do you ride mx or woods?

I ride amcross...
Just rough flat tracks and natural terrain motocross..

I figured i might need to get different springs as thats what i done with the last bike,
I was kinda hoping i wouldnt have to do that with this bike and maybe if i could learn to adjust them myself i might get it to a point that its a lot better than it is now...

Thanks for you help mate..

I'm not sure a lighter rear spring is the way to go in this case. I put on a KYB Ti 5.5 kg/mm spring and my sag is at around 105/32, which is better than the 102/25 or whatever I had when I had the stock 5.0 spring installed.

I wish i could afford it, but cant right now..
My last one was set up for me with correct springs, oil and gold valved..|
It was a dream to ride and inspired confidence..
