[QUOTE="georgieboy, post: 699564, member: 21186"] Terry, i appreciate your assitance. I own a '98 wr250 huskie that came stock with a conventional 50mm marzocchi. I did some fiddling with it and became more happy with them every time i did something in shimming dept. But last month i purchased a wrecked huskie cr125 from '99, and they come with 45mm usd marzocchies, the ones yr talking about. After cleaning inside outside and replaced a few o-rings, I did some work to the midvalve. It came with a very strange midvalve config and i reworked that to a midvalve with 0.5mm float and a very light stack. I immediatly lightend up the rebound stack as the rebound comes with tiny holes, which i feel are a damping obstruction itself. The latest version of work i did is this. Changed the midvalve back to a checkvalve using the smallest shim that covers the comp holes. Rebound i left alone, but i feel i have to lighten that up even more(or drill out the holes a little) The basevalve has got 5x 23.10 shims and furter a light hspeed stack. I feel i can go firmer on the lowspeed shims and lighter one rebound. Springs are ok(static sag with half full tank 35mm) no binding in the legs cause if i pull up the legs they sack back easily. I use high oil levels 80mm,to fight the bottoming, and i am 65kgs with gear. Woodsrider, and moderate enduro rider(B rider?) I am learning a lot lately and i take every opportunity to feel other bikes suspension. What i notice is that other bikes feel very death when you push them, and mine feels plush. Maybe too plush, and i have to frim it up a little when i become faster. However i am happy with the way it is acting now but like to hear yr comments as i find them very interressthing. It is becoming cold overhere so maybe i see the time to make some stack changes while waiting for wether improvements. [/QUOTE]
