thanks ,I ended up letting my 130 pound 14 year old have the bike the rear podium was setup perfect for his weight .he moved up from a z 400 to the 450 and looked like he had been on the bike for years.I had put 70 and 120 in before asking and it worked well  I will try numbers closer to what has been suggested next time out
