The common suspension mistakes & how to fix them

[mudpowered]

I’ve been adjusting the suspension on my e-dirt bike and I think I might have made a few errors, it's too soft in the front and too stiff in the back. What common suspension issues have you experienced, and how did you tackle them?

It sounds like you’re dealing with a classic imbalance, I’ve faced similar problems before. I decreased the rear preload a bit and increased the compression damping in the front to help balance things out.

Great adjustment. A soft front and stiff rear is a common setup challenge. I believe that to rebalance weight transfer and enhance handling, reducing the rear preload and adding a touch of front compression damping is definitely the way to go.
