Gold Valve Setup

[Svock]

Hi, I installed Race Tech Gold Valves in the forks of my 1996 KDX 200. I ordered these from Freddette Racing Products. Apparently they set them up for my weight and riding style/preference etc. At the time I weighed 130 lbs. Now I weigh a little bit over 150 lbs :eek: . What shims do I need to add/subtract etc to correct the setup for my new weight?

Thank You!

Add to the low speed compression

Find out what lo speed comp setting was used, such as cl3, then go up at least one or two settings. This will set it up closer for your new found wt. Leave hi speed alone if you like it the way it is.

What exactly are HIGH and LOW speed compression? What do they translate into on the trail?

Thanks!!
