    Do you have the bike yet? It looks like that's the pipe for the older frame? Of course I could be completely wrong. It's the rear mount that doesn't look quite right. The pipe is beautiful, please post a pic when you get it on the bike. :). Jealous... Or as my kids say, Jelly.

    Beautiful pipe, truly a work of art. Will it rust like an FMF factory "insert model" or is it stainless?

    She would probably benefit from lighter fork springs and heavier rear. I went down one on front and up 5 on rear on mine and I weigh about 185lbs. Depends on what she weighs but Set the rear static sag about 32mm (less than 10mm preload on spring). See if she has about 100-103 rider sag. Front has to be too stiff. Mine came with a .42 and I ended up with a .40. You want about 42mm static and 75mm rider. Makes the bike a WHOLE lot easier to mount, with the proper sags.

    I don't. It should be for the new frame though...

    Vin, what year CR do you have and what rear spring do you have in it?

    I'm the same weight. I guess I can go for the same spring regardless of valving, correct? Thx btw, G

    I'm sure it will work out. Valving has nothing to do with sags. BUT, double check your numbers. I was just checking the Husky specs for front suspension. How do they figure that the same fork springs will work on the 250/300 as the 125 ?

    Yes, it was way too heavily sprung for her. I had it revalved and resprung much lighter and she likes it a lot more now. Just sucks that I can't ride it anymore.

    What common forks will fork bleeders for this bike fit?

    You never said what she weighs. She should not have needed a lighter rear spring. Only lighter front. Maybe a heavier rear. You never said what was the static and rider sag numbers she was getting.

    IIRC, (just threw the paper away) 38/102 rear, 32/50something front. She weighs 140ish.

    The rear isn't too bad. Rider sag is good but static is a bit much. I would have liked 31-35 better. So I would have gone one softer. But It might not be worth effort. As for front you need a lighter spring yet. Do you have a .38kg in there or a .40kg ? Front should be more like 40-44mm static and 75mm rider. My avatar shows my bike with the stock .42kg spring in it. Looks like a chopper. LOL. Setting the front properly will help greatly with turning and being able to get the seat height down about an inch in the front.

    I spoke to Jay today about getting a new 2013 WR125 / 144 / 165. Says the new bikes have the Open Chamber Kayaba 48mm fork. I had no complaints about the Marzochi forks. Anyway I will be selling mine and building a new one this fall. Probably by Dec. Although my lights are not hooked up, I do have a tag for it.
