Just picked up a KLX 110 to use as a pitbike and also share with my 11 year old daughter. I can tell already the forks are going to bottom like crazy if I even look at it. However, I am NOT looking to go whole hog and buy new forks, frames, wheels, disc brakes, etc. I weigh 170 and I'm not planning to hit triples on this thing, that's why I have a 450.
That being said, what do you guys recommend as far as basic/low cost mods -- stiffer springs (how stiff?), heavier oil (what weight?), etc. I've also heard of swapping out forks from the older KX-60 because they will accept my drum brake. I also don't want to make it so stiff that my 100 lb daughter feels every bump, since we'll be sharing it. Would heavier fork oil and higher quantity suffice?
Thanks!
