    Sounds like a very good first ride! I like that small (and shallow) stream stuff!

    I ride the same bike ... Seems like a very good woods / trail / ST bike to me ...
    Here are a couple of threads on the forks ... Mine were a little harsh and deflected a little when I first got it, but I went to 5wt oil to add plushness and bled the forks' bladder as outlined below and they got much better ... Then I set the sag via the clips on the forks as shown below, and the forks are very good for me now ... As of now, I run very little sag ... Seems to work for me now :)

    Setting the rear sag was critical also ... Turn those darn clickers ncluding the HS one!!! ... Adjusting it got rid of the high-speed 'hard hit' .... Just maybe keep track of where U started :)

    Good for you! I got to ride my friend's '10 TXC 250 the other day. It's a great bike in everyway, but I'm very happy with my '09 WR125 and I'll stay 2 stroke. When I get my Factory 144 kit, I'll be even happier!:cheers:

    yep, WR125, TXC250 and TE630 would be perfect.

    Well until 2011 when you would need to add the all new TE450

    I`m going to need the suspension revalved eventually. Any suggestions on suspension tuners. I mostly ride in tight, rocky and rooty single track with some occasional sand races and occasional mx.

    LT-Racing, House of Horsepower, ACE are all highly recommended. LT-Racing is hard to beat. Great guy, excellent prices and very good suspension.
