[QUOTE="James, post: 544043, member: 27207"] I don't think anybody got off topic. T o reword my answer: The cheapest way to get the most out of your suspension: 1. Get the right springs for your weight/riding style (I don't think we know your weight) 2. Use the oil level and clickers to fine tune with the new springs. You can pretty much only do this by riding it and making the necessary adjustments. A good starting point is the stock settings. 3. If you can't get what you need out of the spring change, clickers, and oil level, then you need to look to re-valving. This usually isn't cheap unless you do it yourself. Nobody can tell you for sure that a certain setup is going to be perfect for you. .38 XR springs would be too stiff for a 145lb guy and way too soft for a fat guy like me. Many people hate stock MX suspension in the woods.......I like mine the same for jumping triples and woods riding except for a click or two. I don't think you mentioned a specific complaint or issue that was slowing you down. Are the forks bottoming? Is the back end swapping on you? Is your front wheel deflecting off of roots/rocks? Maybe you don't need to spend any money and work on your technique? "Should I spend a little money with springs and adjustments and move to a different bike in the future, or is it worth it to spend $600 on the suspension" My reworded short answer on this other part of your original question is....I'd get a different bike.
