In this article I will briefly familiarize you with the original equipment (o.e.) Kawasaki/Suzuki 65cc suspension design, tuning tips, and modifications. As a suspension tuner and motocross hobbyist I have observed a lot of discussion over o.e. KX/RM65 suspension. There are numerous message boards filled with ambiguous suspension modifications and specifications for this motorcycle.
The front forks on the KX/RM65 are outdated by several decades but can be adjusted for certain riding conditions. Damper rod forks as found on KX/RM65s are outdated since they create an overly progressive dampening curve (they are too soft initially and too harsh during fast fork movement). The rebound adjuster on the front forks can be used to adjust for some cases of head shake and cornering difficulties. Head shake may occur it can due to too much or to little rebound dampening. This may be fixed by turning the adjuster in increments of two clicks and test. The rebound adjustment can also aid with cornering problems. If the bike washes out in corners, turn the rebound adjuster clockwise in increments of two clicks. If the bike does not stand back up from corners fast enough, turn the rebound adjuster out in increments of two clicks. The front of the bike can also be lowered by moving the forks up in the triple clamps. This may aid in cornering but can cause head shake.
The KX/RM65 models are equipped with a rebuildable rear shock that is mounted to a modern linkage system. This system increases the shocks work load as the rear suspension compresses further towards bottoming. A starting point to adjusting the rear shock is to set race sag at 70-75mm but to not exceed static sag by 25mm. If meeting the two conditions is not feasible, a different rate shock spring may be needed. The rebound adjuster can aid rear end stability and traction. If the rear of the bike swaps to the sides or kicks up it may be due to too much or lack of rebound dampening. To solve this turn the rebound adjuster in increments of one turn and test. Rear traction is often times lost when there is too much rebound dampening and this may be solved by turning the rebound adjuster counter clockwise one turn.
The o.e. KX/RM65 suspension performance does not suffice most competitive motocross riders. There are two effective popular tuning services available for the KX/RM65 forks. An emulator valve can be installed which offers a less progressive and more predictable feel to the front end of the bike. This mod is sold as a "bolt on kit" but is not effective if installed in that fashion. Additional damper rod modifications are needed to tune rebound dampening properly. A cartridge system is also available for the forks that can be installed after machining of the lower fork legs. This cartridge system can be tuned by replacing shims and via rebound and compression adjustments. The o.e. KX/RM65 rear shock has a lot of potential and can be tuned by a revalve service. The KX/RM65 suspension may be mediocre initially, but with proper suspension tuning services it can become a very competitive 65cc dirt bike.
Aurimas Bakchis, also known as Odi, is a suspension tuner and motocross hobbyist. After working for several motocross suspension shops he has started his own suspension company, Feal Suspension. Odi's passion for suspension tuning is his motivator for spending countless hours at race tracks working with riders on improving ride quality by pushing the limits of suspension performance. Odi's eagerness for better suspension performance has transcended into fast growing demand for his suspension tuning services nationally and globally.
Danger for the Fearless: Downhill Mountain Biking
Mountain biking is a thrilling and exciting sport and downhill mountain biking is one such activity which is extremely dangerous and can be life threatening. Downhill Biking enthusiasts who have experienced this activity are well aware of the dangers it involves as well as the joy and high it offers. They also know that safety gears and precautions are the best shields while embarking on a downhill mountain biking course.
The sport of Mountain biking began as an ordinary sport where people living in geographic locations suitable for such races took up this as their pastime and later as their passion. However over the years, this sport has generated a huge fan following and despite of the major challenges and dangers that the sport poses, bikers are not ready to quit. Today this sport is termed as an extreme sport and for justifiable reasons. Mountain biking gives bikers the adrenaline high that they desire and which they experience while doing difficult stunts and races.
Mountain biking - a sport similar to snow skiing
Those who are aware and have experienced the thrill of snow skiing on icy slopes will have a little idea about the excitement of mountain biking. Downhill mountain biking is a popular form of mountain biking activity where the biker rides downhill on his mountain bike. On his way down, the biker gets constantly airborne and has to balance himself and the bike while trailing down the rough trails. However the thought of this high is enough to excite the biker to participate in such extreme downhill races.
Mountain Biking is a dangerous sport.
Those who presume downhill mountain biking to be as easy as biking on normal paved roads or riding in cross country biking are completely ignorant. Downhill biking involves high stress levels and the biker has to constantly keep control using his bikes rear and front suspension while simultaneously trying to balance himself and the bike. Bikes used for downhill mountain biking have sturdy frames and are thus heavier with the weights of such bikes ranging from eighty to hundred kilos.
Bikers aiming to participate in downhill mountain biking have to make themselves mentally and physically prepared to face the hardships associated with this activity. This is mainly because the biker has to start the race from the top of the hill and his physical energy is not required to pedal downhill but to maintain his body and bike's balance on the tricky slope. This is physically demanding and its important that all safety gears and precautions are taken much in advance.
Bikers who have experienced the thrill and high of downhill mountain biking are always game to participate and care less for the risks involved. Downhill mountain biking is dangerous as the downhill trails are difficult, dangerous and the bike can jump almost to forty feet while coming downhill. Difficult trails excite downhill bikers and nothing can stop their eagerness to try such trails, not even the risk of injury or fatalities. However such bikers know the importance of using safety gears like helmet, elbow and knee pads, body suits etc. since these can ensure atleast some amount of safety against fatal falls.

what if i had a bike where the rear wheel is larger than the front wheel and vice versa?
is this bike any safer or more dangerous?
does the slant cause any undue stress on the body?
are there any benefits at all?
If you saw the designs of a very old old bike "penny farthing" this is what it was - huge front wheel, tiny back wheel. Somehow this design was replaced with contemporary desing, I'm sure the change was for a reason.
I'm sure you've also seen monocycles - bike with one wheel. This has one additional degree of freedom - you can always fall forward or backwards. Same deal with the smaller wheel: your center of mass is too close to the same vertical axis as the big wheel, so you are always in danger of flipping over forward (if the mall wheel is in the back) or backward (if the small wheel is in the front) . If you manage to avoid this by design of the frame then it is probably fine. Another trouble is - smaller wheel is more "sensitive" to the roughness of the road.
