I took my CR for my first ride yesterday.  It is great!  Has great power and is very fun to ride.

The rear suspension is perfect, but the front is way too stiff.  By stiff I mean that I used only half of its travel the whole time I rode the bike yesterday(when I stopped I looked at how far down the dirt was pushed by the seals).  It is too rough.  Every log I hit sends all the shock right to my arms.

How can I make my Suspension softer besides buying softer springs?  There are no shims/spacers in the fork.  There is NO SAG.  When I sit on the bike it goes down maybe 2mm.  I am using 5wt oil that has just been put in.  Oil level is ~90mm.

I don't think it has to do with the compression damping because it has no sag.

Thank you.

P.S.  I have a 96 CR250 with inverted forks.
