[QUOTE="TrackMaster, post: 648616, member: 22282"] Hi, I have stock forks on my 96 yz125 and they have been revalved for a 160 lb rider. I weigh 140, but it's ok as i prefer stiff suspension. My problem is when i replaced the seals, and put 15 weight oil in them. This seemed to work excellent for the jumps, when the forks bottomed (rarely) they gave a little bump like most bikes. My front end kept climbing out of ruts and it will be getting colder soon, so i put 10wt oil in. Now the forks bottom very easily even with the compression clickers pushed in to almost their locks. They work a lot better in corners, but on any relatively hard landings they blow through the stroke and "spike" my hands, they send a huge jolt straight into my wrists that ive never experienced before. Also, my forks have race tech .4 kg fork springs and there are 3 washers (or shims?) at the bottom of the forks. Im running stock oil level too. Does anyone have any tips for me? [/QUOTE]
