I have had my bike for about 4 months now and have been fairly pleased with the suspension performance. My only complaint is that the fork and shock have problems soaking up big jumps. I weigh 170 (w/o riding gear) and race motocross in the O-25 Intermediate class.
I think that up front, it is a spring problem and in the back, it is a valving problem.
FORKS: I run the fork comp. clicker only 7 clicks out. If I run it any further in, it becomes too harsh on the little stuff, any further out and then it feels great on the small stuff, but clanks on the jumps. If I stiffen up the springs and raise the oil a bit, would give me better action?
SHOCK: I can run the clickers pretty much in the middle of their adjustment range and it feels great everywhere, except for jump landings. If I move anywhere on the low-speed clicker, it starts getting ugly in the whoops and other repetitive bump combos. I see no alternative to a re-valve (more progressive low speed compression) for the shock.
Please give me any PROFESSIONAL opinions. I about to have a revlave done on the shock and am comsidering a front revalve also. Is it worth the money to do both, or am I on the right track to fixing my forks?
THANX!
