      Hi guys, i have a 2006 DT125RE that i converted into a supermoto and i`d like to make my rear shock stiffer, I already figured out the front fork stiffening, but im not entirely sure how i will go about stiffening my rear shock, can i just replace the spring? If so, what springs would fit? Or can i just replace the entire shock with something adjustable? Afaik a YZ shock would not fit, and the only aftermarket shock i found is a YSS for 230 euros. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

        @Azerator YSS make quality shocks so that's always a good option.

        The other options would be to fit the DT230 Lanza shock absorber as these appear to be adjustable.

        Unfortunately the Lanza is a JDM only model, so you'll need to scour the appropriate Japanese auction sites to find one.

        I have seen these fitted to R/RE/X models before.

          Let you in to a little secret the xt600 shock spring fits into to the dt shock, either that or YSS shock is a good upgrade according to the guys on here which I am going for personally
