[QUOTE="82 Bird, post: 453223, member: 34266"] I have a 2000 yz426 with 1999 suspension, i am trying to get it dialed in best i can, I don't know the history of this suspension it was slipped in on me when i got the bike. The forks seem harsh any small bumps almost make it feel as if it's bottoming even though it isn't. I weight 185 205 with gear and ride MX. If i go out with the compression on the forks it bottoms in this whoop sections, if i go in with it, the front end swaps going into turns, I basically have been going between 13 and 17 clicks out. the springs on the forks have 46 engraved on the top of them, it was done by someone with a engraver, I just dont believe these springs are 46's, The mx tech site says i need 44 or 45, my oil level is at 130mm, I want to order springs but if these are really 46's i have i cant see getting softer ones, i only have 5 rides on a 4 stroke, i came off a 1995 kx250 and really loved the suspension on my kx compared to my new bike, My knowledge of susp is very limited and i don't really know what to do, i thought of ordering 47's just to try, the rear has a silver spring with 1 yellow slash, i believe it's stock, it doesn't really bottom, could maybe going softer on the rear help the front? sorry this is so long, any help is appreciated, bird [/QUOTE]
