Hey so I bought a TC125 just for practice. Anyways I’m a bit heavy for it at 200 lbs. forks are air so I can add some pressure. it says it the manual I’d be good on a 42 NM Shock spring. 39 is stock. Can I just do the swap, set sag and ride? Or with the heavier springs does anything else need to be done in the valving? I’m just an average C rider. Thanks for the help.

You want to get 105mm sag with 6mm preload on the spring. Took me a while to figure some of the quirks out on these new Austrian bikes after years on Japanese bikes
Should be able to find decently priced OE takeoffs from modern 250SXF (42) and 350/450SXF's (45N/m); Experiment and see what works best. 42 starting point should be close with the lighter-weight of the 125 (appx. 20lbs less than comparable Austrian 4T's)...

To change the spring, just undo the back linkage bolts, loosen the preload, unclip and drop the spring out the bottom... no need to take the shock off
Went to .45 from .42 on my 250sx, you will probably need same
