Default New guy from nc

Just bought a like new 525sx. I have to say I love this bike. The power is awesome but very manageable. The only gripe I have is the suspension. But I'm sure I can adjust to suit me. I look forward to using the forum for technical advice. BTW I am a machinist/fabricator by trade. If I can offer any help to anyone along those line I will be more than happy to. Just pm me.

Welcome aboard.

I'd try to find out if the bike has stock suspension first, typically
this is set to a 150 lbs rider or less.

I've had to go to one or two spring rates up on all my forks and
shocks.
