dt502001 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Lots of people own thoes bikes here and could give you a book full of info but ,,,,it is only polite to post a bit about youself in the new members section then you will get more responce. That said any good suspension shop can set up the bike for your weight and travel wont be any longer but custom fit for your weight, you might want to talk to the guy's who are dirt riding around your area they will be able to hook you up with a good suspension shop.

veteranix_2 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 My humble experience: Change the springs for a short ones an add a (how can I say it, I speek in crude english) add a two inches bump inside like some Motocross guys do to rise the forks. When I bought my XT the mechanic did the reversal operation. Other trick is to add also an "elevator" (sorry again) between the forks and the handlebar.
