Just got a 2003 KX125 and want to redo the suspension.
Option 1 - Revalve Forks and Shock
Option 2 - 250/450 AOSS/SFF Forks, revalve Stock Shock
Option 3 - New Forks, RMZ Shock
I would also revalve the KXF Forks as well if I went that route.
So what I'm asking, is it worth the extra cost to put new forks on, or are revalved forks good enough?
Most of my riding would be fast single track/desert

That said, i'm currently running the stock Kayabas with Racetech Gold Valve (base valve only on these forks) with a pro setting and they feel decent enough to ride pro tracks here in SoCal. Definitely not the best performing forks, but they work alright. Open chamber forks can tend to fade as they get hot, though.
As for the shock, the stock shock is fine with a revalve IMO.
the kyb stuff on the 3rd gen cr125s are supposedly jst perfect stock

I'd be replacing the forks and the shock, but that's just me.
