[QUOTE="Yoken, post: 591724, member: 25312"] Bud-Man, Thanks for your post. The 10.5mm shim is a spacer. I found it convenient to reduce the amount of float without overloading the spring. It sits on the bottom, inside the spring. It is basically a bottoming shim and it doesn't disturb the spring action. The spring in acting directly on the next shim 14.1mm (the last shim of the HSC). You are right about the springs. I must use proper rates before going any further in valving mods. I've got 2 problems though: 1- Since the fork feels better, the rear end feels strange! I use to service the Kayaba shock on my previous KX with no problems... but here I'll think twice before opening the PDS! 2- I will probably move to your continent (in Tenessee) within 6 months and I am not even sure I can import my bike... Enjoy your riding and thanks again [/QUOTE]
