Hey guys, I have a 1998 kx100 and I would like to make my forks stiffer. However I understand that the adjustment is on the bottom of the fork leg. How should this be adjusted, I have an Allen key but it is not the correct size. I weigh 62kg how many clickers should it be on?
Thanks dudes

Here is a copy of the service manual

take a look at page 11-5

The Allen key caps need to be removed to get at the compression adjuster.
Ok Thankyou

Sounds like youre really dealing with a piece here. However i think a quick and easy fix for this would be to get pro circuit a kit suspension for the bike.

Thanks whit14 for the kind words, I don't think I would be able to purchase a pro circuit suspension as money is a problem, I think it would be easy if I can stiffen the forks, could you help?

Put a fork block under the fender while you ride. That should stiffen it up.
