[QUOTE="Canadian Dave, post: 45064, member: 16102"] Set the preload to 10mm and go with heavier oil. Mik's advice sounds spot on to me. Start off with the oil set at 120mm then draw out an additional 10mm of oil putting you at the 130mm mark. Record how much oil you removed to bring you to that level. If you find the suspension is bottoming you can add additional oil to stiffen up the suspension as it reaches full compression. Because you've recorded how much oil was removed to drop the level by 10mm you'll know how much oil to add to raise the level 10mm with out having to remove the spring from the fork. Add the same amount to each fork leg through the brass bleed screw. Check your manual for the maximum recommended oil level. Remember to bleed the forks before setting the oil level. If you need an oil level gauge you can find instructions to build one on the justKDX site or you can use a turkey bster and a quick tie. If you need clarification on any of this just get back to us.
