Man oh man!...you are crunching that suspension there, aren't you.
Thats what happens when a 220lb rider jumps a bike with springs for a 150lb rider....lol

Do a search there for "DSP SHOCK SPRING KX125", it's direct fit and comes in all the most often needed rates, 5.8 6.0 6.2 and 6.4kg/mm for the really big boys.
