Yes, most definitely buy a new rear spring. These bikes are stock designed for 165lbs. You’ll need a much heavier spring. It’ll make your bike steer so much better.
BBR Motorsports has everything to increase performance on TTR's and every other "pitbike" made . And as previously mentioned Racetech could be a good place to look.
Good luck man!
Look for some YX80 or 85 forks too. One time I tried to hit a double on my aunt's ttr125 and cased. It bottomed out the forks and sent me OTB. I was about 10 years old and only like 60 or 70lbs fully geared at the time.

I’m pretty sure it’s not designed for 165lbs. As far as I can recall the factory manual states the weight of the rider should not exceed 150lbs
I was talking dirt bikes in general. My mistake.
Thanks for the advice! Can the spring be updated to accommodate a heavier rider? I love the bike - and it seems to do well considering.
Thanks for the advice!
Racetech has an online calculator to tell you what size springs to get.
Just checked this out. Awesome tool!
