[QUOTE="Onore GT, post: 152387, member: 21925"] The bladder forks which come on the late model KXs do respond well to oil level changes, you might try adjusting the oil level and playing with the clickers a bit more before you send them off. I don’t know how familiar you are with the forks, but the fork oil level in the KX bladder fork fluctuates depending on the speed the fork is compressed. Under high speed movements the fork oil level stays high. Under low speed movements the fork oil can bleed into the lower portion of the fork and compress an internal bladder to lower the oil level and soften the fork. My experience with the KX fork has been that oil level changes effect the initial movement and the overall firmness of the fork much more with than regular cartridge forks without the bladder. The fork oil adjustable range in the manual is between 60 and 120mm. I think that the standard level is 70mm. Try lowering it to 90mm and see how they feel. You can also open the compression adjuster a couple more clicks from where you are to loosen them up a bit. [/QUOTE]
