[QUOTE="JTT, post: 171403, member: 19620"] I've been struggling with this fork for some time now. I am a 185lbs, MX vet rider, '00 CR250. I have had the forks professionally revalved and resprung with .45 springs. Oil level 400cc. The fork is better than it was, but still harsh. When compressing suspension (bouncing by hand), it seems that the first 1/3 of travel is good and smooth, then it "ramps up" rapidly and is very difficult to compress any further by hand. It almost feels like a hydraulic lock, although, when riding, this is obviously not the case, as fork does move on large hits. The suspension company I was dealing with doesn't seem to have any real answers (don't even need to say it :( ). I have tried the lighter springs, lighter midvalve valving (as per suspension tuners instructions), but still no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am at a loss :think The other issue I wanted to ask, was how critical and what roll does the oil level in the cartridge play? I am thinking....Too high, the chamber spring would bottom out and there would ba a hydraulic lock in chamber. Too low and the effectiveness of this chamber spring would be lost. Input anyone?
