Suspension?

Suspension?

I'm very mechanical just not very knowledgeable. My son has started racing
his 07 KX250F. He is small but growing. I should adjust his suspension for
his weight but I don't know which weight springs to buy. He weighs about
110lbs. Any help will be appreciated.

There's a good spring rate calculator on www .racetech,com . Start
there.
