[QUOTE="andrew, post: 926104, member: 16274"] I have a '96 KDX200 with the standard Kyaba forks. I replaced the soft OEM springs with a .41 set for an XR400, which has been a huge improvement. My problem now is that while they are awesome on heavy stuff like jumps etc, they are quite harsh on the small stuff like rocks. The springs I put in may be a little stiff for me (I'm about 90Kg fully kitted up) so I've tried to compensate by using a lightweight fork oil (ATF fluid actually),and made my compression setting as soft as possible. What else can I do to make them a bit softer in the first part of the stroke? Would gold valve emulators make any difference? What about lowering the oil height? Another thing I was thinking about was drilling out the oil holes in the inner tube, although I am not confident in that without some good advice and direction on how much to drill out. I suppose what I'd REALLY like would be a set of WP's or Marchozzi's :aj: , but that is out of the question at the moment! So, any advice y'all can give would be much appreciated. Thanks, Andrew [/QUOTE]
