Recently acquired a 2010 YZ250. Ive got the 2015 kit on it now but I have no idea where to start with the suspension settings, mainly does anyone have advise for compression, rebound and sag? Im 6'4'' and 235 lbs. I ride fast trails and sandy tracks here in Michigan.

Get the right springs in and sag settings. Take it from there.

I think taller guys like different sag settings, but at 160 lbs I run the following setup. It might be a good starting point when you get some springs. (Racetech has spring recommendations on their web site.)
-Raise the fork tubes up in the clamps so that the groove is aligned at the top of the upper clamp.
-Run about 100 to 107 sag. 100 turns quick while 107 is super stable.
My clicker settings will not work for you. I am 160lbs, racing MX and I have re-valved everything.
Once you get that thing dialed in, you'll probably love it.
I've been as light as 153 (without my gear) and the stock rear spring was still just fine.
