How to Adjust Suspension on a Dirt Bike

!: How to Adjust Suspension on a Dirt Bike

Here's a quick tip on how to adjust the suspension on your dirt bike if it has adjustable forks or shocks. The purpose of adjusting it is to make the suspension perform at its best on certain types of terrain or size/shape of obstacles. The faster you go, the stiffer you'll want your suspension to be. If you are a trail riding, then you will want it to be softer than it would normally be for riding on a motocross track.

Front Suspension/Forks

There are two things you can do to the forks without changing your springs, and these are adjusting the compression and rebound speed. As seen in the picture above, number one shows where the clickers are for adjusting the rebound on the bike, and number two shows where the clickers for changing the compression speed on the forks are. To slow down/stiffen either the compression or rebound on the forks, you will want to turn the clickers in/clockwise with a screwdriver. You will hear a "click" about every half turn, and all the way in is about 15 clicks for most bikes. You do the same thing for speeding up/softening the compression and rebound, but instead of turning the clicker in you will turn it out/counter-clockwise.

Rear Suspension/Shock

It's basically the same routine for adjusting the shock, but the clickers aren't in the same spots. Number three shows where the rebound clicker is on the shock, and number four is where the compression clicker is. The shock is usually around fifteen clicks also.

Setting it up for your style

If your bike still has stock suspension and it's not extremely worn out, then the stock springs are usually set up for about a 130-165lb rider for motocross. If you weigh more than that, you'll want stiffer springs, but if you weigh less than that then you'll want softer springs. Another pointer when you're adjusting you clickers is that you want the forks to be equally adjusted. What I mean by that is when you adjust the right side of the forks compression or rebound, then you will want the left side to be the same, otherwise it might not feel right or be as consistent. This does not mean that you have to have the compression adjusted the same as the rebound for either the forks or the shock. I usually keep them the same because I am not the fastest rider and tiny adjustments like that aren't really noticeable for me. If you are picky about your suspension then you make little changes by having different combination settings. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Thanks for viewing, and good luck!

Different Kinds of 200cc Dirt Bikes

!: Different Kinds of 200cc Dirt Bikes

There are quite a few manufacturers that produced 200 CC dirt bikes. Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM, and Suzuki all had 200 cc enduro models. These small dirt bikes are great for beginners to ride. The power bands are smooth and relaxing making for more enjoyable ride for beginners. A brand new person the dirt bike riding would be able to hop on a 200 cc dirt bike and ride easily. 200 cc bikes are often very light and easy to handle.

Kawasaki, maker of the KDX 200 is a great bike. The KDX 200 of them comes equipped with some suspension, a light, and a easy to use clutch. The KDX is a very mellow ride. This bike is great to ride on trails, gravel roads, and in the backyard. You can also use this motocross bike on tight single track trails. I would not recommend taking the KDX out on the motocross track. The suspension on the KDX is not setup for motocross riding.

Honda, maker of the XR 200 is a very reliable ride. The XR 200 is a lightweight machine that can navigate you through some of the most challenging and a single track trails known to man. This bike is very reliable and very affordable. You're able to find parts for the XR very cheaply on sites such as Ebay and craig's list. This makes the Honda bigger rate entry level ride at an affordable price.

Yamaha, maker of the TTR 200 is a wonderful ride to itself. The TTR 200 can hang with the best of all 200 cc bikes. I have driven my friends TTR two hundreds and that it was always a very enjoyable experience. When looking for new off road bike for my wife I pick one of these beasts up. My wife have never written a dirt bike before I was able to hop on the TTR and star riding with very little explanation involved.

Suzuki, maker of the DR 200 is not one of the best rides up at. I enjoy the Suzuki are and 250 but when hopping on a DR it leaves a lot to be desired. The suspension is setup much to soften my liking. When riding through the woods on types single track the bikes in part to handle. It would be nice if the bike felt a little bit lighter. Suzuki's tend to be cheaper than the other motorcycles because they are much less reliable. With some work you can make your Suzuki a great machine.

In conclusion there are the lots of 200 cc off road bikes to choose from. The XR 200, the TTR 200, the DR 200, and the KDX 200 are all wonderful rides. These bikes will make a great entry level motorcycle for your wife, kids, or friends.
