[QUOTE="JamesM, post: 902388, member: 31570"] I was hoping someone could offer some insite into the operation of the latest Showa fork compression valving. I have considerable experience with the forks through 2002 models but the new ones have significant changes by use of two shim circuits instead of just one as in the older versions. One controls the primary piston flow similar to the older units. The second seems to control pressure/flow peaks in clicker circuit. Both use lots of shims compared to older, smaller units. I am very interested in understanding the general operating ranges and relationship/overlap of these circuits? In addition the midvalve has been stiffened quite a bit without increasing float. This probably relects a different intent on interaction with the new base circuits rather than just a desire to bash the rider more. I would be happy to input the oem valving specs I found --if anyone is interested. [/QUOTE]
