Message: [QUOTE="Red_Chili, post: 1017907, member: 65383"] FWIW, I too weigh 180-185 without gear. I recently put some used XR400 .39 springs in, removed two shims from the valve bodies, SAE5 fork oil at 100mm, ~20mm preload, and find the fork action to be really, really nice. The first thing I noticed was a bonus feeling of confidence, then I realized why. The stock front knobbie, nothing to write home about, stuck like glue. This was at an MX track tooling around, then dinking on piles of dirt, dropoffs, all sorts of obstacles, not terribly aggressive but just all-round stuff. [/QUOTE]
