I have a 03 Xr70 and on the front shocks there is one valve on top of each shock and it looks like an air valve what is it for? :think:

Your manual should have a description of what that is for.

I think it is for air presure. From my MTB experience and old dirt bikes your forks are oil/coil with air assist. So, depending on what type of ridding you are doing you can set the preasure for harder ridding or light trail duties. Beware thoe that the higher PSI you run in the fork legs the more chance you have of blowing oil past the fork seals.

Yeah, get a manuel or call the dealer and see what the recomended setting is.
