Did you do the install? Is the damper rod drilled out correctly? thought about that also. The kit came w/ 2 sets of valve springs. The lighter set was installed at the factory. I drilled out the rods myself. I had the dealer replace the seals & they said for $30.00 they'd put everything back together. I've known these guys for 30+ years. They are a RaceTech dealer/installer. Again, the 1st ride was amazing, way better than stock. The initial movement is very good, but the fork gets alittle harsh on a sharp/ square edge bump. Temperary hydraulic lock ?. Maybe I'm trying to split hairs, but I've got it this far, maybe I can get the last 3%-4% dialed in. With all my years of racing MX, I was always amazed how much better MX forks work than stock street forks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #501226 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 7985 Re:This bike now handles!!! 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Did you set the static sag at a "s treet worthy" value? Around 40% of available travel?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #501238 deadlion (User) Go Duke!

I'm assuming you are in the .9-1.0 KG-MM range on the springs? Based on what you want, maybe you should pull about 10CC of fluid off each leg and try it with a little more air cushion?   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/09 08:26 By jd750ace.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #501332 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3417 Re:This bike now handles!!! 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   jd750ace wrote: I hear what you're saying about the roads!

I'm running 1.1kg/mm springs Thanks for the tip. Think I'll try removing alittle oil   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
