How do you adjust the front suspension on a dirt bike?
There is no correct measurement. To adjust your sag, you will need a hammer and punch, or a specialty tool offered by the manufacturer. After you loosen the shock spring lockring, turn the spring preload ring to increase or decrease sag. A general rule of thumb is that one complete turn changes the sag by about 3mm.
When should I adjust my high speed compression?
If you find that your fork or shock is still bottoming out too easily and have a high-end shock and fork with the option, you can adjust your high-speed compression damping. Adding more high-speed compression damping reduces the amount of travel the fork uses in high speed impacts (shaft speed not bike speed).
What does adding low speed compression do?
Low Speed Compression – controls shock movement when it is moving down into its travel slowly (ie: low shaft speed). Low speed compression can be tuned to provide maximum sensitivity to small bump input and reduce movement under the rider’s shifting weight.
How tall do you have to be to ride a 250?

Lift and press on the suspension several times to establish a consistent resting point.
How to set up suspension on a dirt bike?
Setting Rider Sag Check the shock for smooth action and check the heim joints, and/or linkage bearings for excessive stiction and binding. Put the bike on a stand that allows the suspension to fully extend. Measure from the axle center vertically to a point on the chassis.
