[QUOTE="larosche, post: 412374, member: 18101"] Before you work on the front fork sag of the PDS KTMs make sure your rear shock sag is correct. (3.5" to 4") Since you want the bike to turn better you are checking the sag. If you are normal weight and a normal rider the stock setting should be OK. Before changing the sag (by changing the spacer at the top of the fork springs), try adjusting the compression settings (lower). This will let the forks compress better when entering the corner. You also might be too low in the stroke which could put you in the heavy compression area of the fork. To solve that you put in a heavier fork spring. How does the bike feel? Is the front end riding high enough to be in the soft compression area? Have you checked the fork oil level (too much oil will make the front end too stiff). Just freshening up the fork oil might help. Lastly check that the forks and triple clamps are not binding. Loosen up the axle and triple clamp bolts, compress the front end several times. This will remove any binding. Then tighten up all bolts to spec. Make sure you don't over tighten the fork pinch bolts. RAD DAD [/QUOTE]
