Message: [QUOTE="Layton, post: 117626, member: 19387"] Maybe one of you suspension pros can help me out. A friend of mine has a Y2K 300 EXC. In an effort to soften the suspension when hitting smaller rocks, etc. he removed the base valve (the one on the bottom of the forks) and then removed every other shim (I think there were about 18 to start with) from the stack. He claims that this will soften the fork on the slow speed side but that it will still react ok when hitting bigger bumps at speed I don’t have enough knowledge in this area to know if he is correct or not. How about it, what exactly will this modification do? [/QUOTE]
