    Can anyone tell me what the stock setup for suspension on a 2013 cr125?
    The clickers on the front forks are uneven, and i havnt checked the rear yet..
    Cant get the USB that contains my manual to work..

    Also, the bike was jetted for me before i picked it up..
    What is the stock carby setup?

    Just trying to learn all as i go along..
    Been a long time since i had a decent bike (my last husky, 2001 model) and id like to learn the things i havn't learnt in the past...

    Does anyone have a manual or a good book/website i could read to learn about suspension and carby setups?

    or even links to good writeups on here, as i seem to be pretty bad at finding the info i need on here, even though im sure it would be here somewhere!

    Don't worry too much about what the exact stock setup is, because you're probably going to want to change it anyway. Just start with the clickers set to the middle of their range and adjust from there.

    Fork clickers usually have approximately 20 "clicks" of adjustment, so around 10-12 clicks out is a good general starting point.

    Thanks kyle!
    That gives me a good base to start from..
    I checked them and one was 9 and the other 10 clicks out..
    Ive set them both to 10 and ill go from there..

    Now to learn what effects what! :thinking:

    For what it's worth, I wouldn't worry about having the two fork legs off by one click. One click is a very small amount, likely to be less than you will notice, and not enough to cause any kind of a problem.

    It's good to have both sides the same just for consistency and it makes it easier to keep track of.

    Thanks kyle..
    Ive gone 11 out on the front clickers now and it seems more settled in the slick corners..
    I went in a few clicks at first (5 over a few tests) and there seemed to be no difference, although i was sure the front was too stiff and wasnt using nearly enough travel..
    Once i went the other direction, it made a bit of a difference right away..

    so far so good, hopefully im heading the right direction with setup!
