sveson Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 My tl 125 is quite soft in the front. Anyone who know where to find longer, harder springs? Preferably progressive Springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Most people increase the preload a bit and use heavier oil. If you still want different springs, what size (outside diameter of coils) are your TL125 springs and how long are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 The hot setup for these bikes is to fit the whole front end from a MT125 or CR125. The fuel tank would need to be reshaped to clear the fork tubes with this change, but it makes the front end suspension and steering much nicer. Another alternative would be to try and find a set of forks from one of the little Honda trail bikes from the same era that had the same diameter fork tubes (SL125, SL100, XL125) and use the springs out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sveson Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thank you feetupfun! I am not planning on changing to much about the bike. If i can just get it a bit stiffer in the front it will be fine. Your suggestion to use springs from for example an XL 125 would be fine for me. The small diameter fork is probably difficult to find progressive springs for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
