[QUOTE="80elkster, post: 946235, member: 58822"] [b]I have one[/b] I have a '93' with the USD forks, I bought it used and replaced the fluid with Mobil 1 Automatic Transmission Fluid which is about equivalent to 7wt. That alone made a huge difference. From the look of the fluid that I drained out it was probably the original. At first I ran it with the stock springs and it rode great but was just a little soft for high speed riding but in the tight woods over roots 6-8 inches above the ground you didn't even feel them. Since then I bought a set of .42 Kg springs from Fredette and I think they are too stiff so I'm going to try a set of .40 Kg's. Stock springs are .30 Kg. By the way I'm a big guy 250lbs dry. My son has an '05' and when I rode it, it was too stiff. The ride was harsh with the clickers set at 10 clicks out from the factory we softened it up by adjusting the clickers out. It also helped to set the sag at the rear. My research has shown that Kawasaki probably went back to right side up forks due to machining and finishing (anodize) costs which are considerably higher. There is one advantage with having the USD forks, they don't hang down as low so when your in a rut or between roots they are less likely to get hung up and keep you from getting your handlebars jerked out of your hands. Less unsprung weight too. The newer forks have a lot more opportunity for dampening improvents though since they are cartrige type. Depends on your riding style and your wallet I'm very happy with mine and I know with a little more fine tuning I'll have them tweeked just right!! Hope this helps! :nod: [/QUOTE]
