I've got an 02 cr250r with stock suspension on it. I've already got my suspension about as stiff as the clickers will go (I like my suspension pretty stiff) and weigh about 205 before gear.
I will be changing my fork seals soon, but is there anything fairly simple I can do while I'm inside my forks to stiffen them up a bit?

I know how to change the front springs, but what about the back? I hear they are a bit more work that front.
The rear is easier to change than the fronts.

It looks like we recommend quite a bit stiffer on both front and rear for the springs, so you'll definitely notice a difference. Also, if you haven't changed the oil in a while, a broken down oil will cause your suspension to soften up as well.
I'd recommend getting proper springs in with a QUALITY oil (not all oils are created equally!) and give it a ride. If your'e still looking for more, then a revalve would be your next option.
If you'd like to order springs/oil through Race Tech, be sure to mention VitalMX for a 20% off discount. You can contact me directly at chris@racetech.com for a quote with the discount as well.
