Hi,
I would like to know your opinion on my fork suspension. I have just brought a seond hand YZ 250 (2002) and it has some custom suspension on it - I could not get that much detial on it, it it seems about right. However I'm relatively new to MX and there is a table top at my location track that is 55 feet long. At the moment I can't make the landing and are jumping about 45 onto the flat of the tabletop. I'm finding that the suspension totally bottoms (not to the point where you get the 'clack') - its just very hard to absorb this with my body and I'm afraid to push it any further.
My question really is do you think this is about right got the suspension or should it be able to soak this sort of landing up better??
When I went out on the bike the first time the reboud and compression was set up much more plush which was great over the rough stuff but I found that it wasn't soaking up the landings very well and nearly bouncing me off. I clicked the rebound in a bit and the compression up about 3 clicks and its harder work but seems to soak the landings up better.
