[QUOTE="bbqtex, post: 898894, member: 60126"] Bikedude127, just crank out a little on the shock spring to lower the back a hair. That should help with the head shake.Turn it out 1/2 turn and go ride it. If it still shakes turn it out another 1/2 ect. Remember that we all have different weights and riding positions bar postions , some ride towards the front of the seat more than others, this also affects handling. The exact measurements from the book dont work perfect for everybody, I agree with the others that the rebound is too quick. Remeber also that what works on one terrain/track may not be ideal at another. I'm no expert but hope this helps. It works for me. Vctory lap, I bought mine used from a friend. He rode it several weeks and the harsh rough ride never went away, his weight is very close to yours. He's a very fast intermmediate. He had it revalved and sprung for his weight and liked it much better. I ride mostly offroad and am riding it with his valving and springs. I wound up at c 20@ out and r @8 out forks; same on shock. The bike would not turn well and i raised the forks 12 mm in the clamps and added a little more sag, it turned better and the headshake went away. The ride was much plusher where he originally had it set at c 14 out and r @ 10 out forks and the same on shock. I only weigh 154lbs so it felt like a railroad car to me. It still is not perfect or as good as my ktm setup but the springs are not right. I may not change them as i just got the bike and need to ride it longer to decide if I like it enought to keep it.
