[QUOTE="mxcrash, post: 779539, member: 53991"] Hi, I'm new to this forum and have been soaking up the great info and tips people have on offer here and have learnt heaps, but now it's time for a question of my own. I have a 2000 cr250 (since new) and have been doing mx for the last 1.5 years, and as we don't have the funds to upgrade it's now time to try and tune the suspension. My weight is 80kg(176 lb) & height 6'2" I ride mostly sand, and the forks have been revalved recently to help with the small sharp chop (two staged comp stack I think it was called). I've ensured the forks are aligned properly as per previous posts, and tried runing sag from 97mm-102mm . The forks still are not quite to my liking. The other week I took 15ml of oil out of each leg and this made it quite a lot better, but after a quick ride today I tried adding 5ml to each leg, this required me to soften up the comp. by 4 clicks to handle the small chop but caused it to feel like it was falling thru the stroke and almost bottoming on the last braking bump as I enter corners. My questions are 1. Would diff. fork springs help? harder or softer? 2. Is it safe to take out more than 15ml oil from the forks? 3. Would gold valves or the like help? 4. Could the rear shock or spring be the prob? thanks ash [/QUOTE]
