[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 829076, member: 16552"] Jason: Basically, 'Yes.' My clickers work better (have more effect) on the MX-Tech setup than the oem setup. The oem setup for me goes back four years and about a ga-dozen different suspension setups. I've paid more attention to the changes after MX-Tech than before. I [b]did[/b] have the opportunity to ride an oem kdx frontend after my MX-Tech changes. I was surprised at how flat-out frightening the oem setup was! For a good look at changing fork springs, take a look at Matt Disher's How-To page: [url]http://www.dishers.com/hobbies/Repairs/[/url] It is a simple process. I prefer the oil level method opposed to the volume measuring method. Use a big vet syringe (your local grange type store) and some tubing to set your level. My last service I set the fluid to 110mm. I've been running the forks with a 'negative' air shock (use the bleeders at 'some' fork compression) of late, so next service I'm going to use 120mm. That figure (120mm) is what a local tuner-guy recommended, too. With the bleeders, it's not that big a deal...I can 'adjust' the frontend to whatever I prefer at the time. Set your clickers to where you like 'em. Pretty much as soft as you like with very seldom or no bottoming going on. The valving is important, but you won't be messing with that. BTW...you aren't taking the forks apart, right? Just changing the springs? I took only a quick lookie at MadDisher's page..but did [b]not[/b] see a reference to the clipped-on washers on the bottom of the springs. Make sure you get those out with the oem springs AND put 'em back on the new springs. Piece-o-cake. [/QUOTE]
