Have had my '17 TC125 for a few months now and really haven't played with the forks much, have been running them at 120psi for my 165lb weight but have been fighting the rear shock a bit. Dropped my forks to 117psi and noticed a lot more movement when out on the track - and the rear seems to be better in the acceleration chop that has been a problem. Not sure if this is all in my head but going to run it this way for a while and see how it goes. Has anyone else saw similar results? Does any of this make any sense??

You have to Remember to adjust your shock to compensate for fork changes

You need to explain more about fighting the shock. What kind of movement? Front or rear? Maybe get a good sag setting, go back to stock and start over, one adjuster at a time.
What MXA did with their 125. Have you considered maybe servicing your suspension?

Maybe you should concentrate on dialling in the shock, not the forks.
You are saying you are fighting the rear, not the front.

I have had the shock apart and changed oil 3 times so far this season, fork seals/oil a few weeks ago, stock sag from the manual, lower air pressure made a noticeable difference on the movement of the forks but also seemed to help eliminate the sharpness from acceleration chop on the rear suspension. Doesn't make much sense to me - maybe the front is a touch lower and the rear slightly higher when coming out of a corner or something. It makes sense that the front wouldn't be as stiff with the lower air pressure but interested in how it seemed to help the rear
