Sorry for not getting back to this post quicker.  I am out of town on vacation and could not get to a computer until today.

JTT or others,
I do only want to change the LSC.  I am trying to picture this in my mind, as I don’t even have the parts book with me at this time.  In the base valve would the shims closest to the piston be the larger diameter ones in the stack of shims? If that were the case, about how many shims would you remove?

I realize that this is why people pay good money to suspension shops but I would like to play with mine some and need a starting point.   I like the suspension but after riding several pre-2000 models (KTM’s) I realize that mine is much stiffer at low trail speeds on rough ground.  No matter how far I back off the compression, the fork is still stiffer on the slow stuff than what I would like.  What I want to do is make mine smoother like the earlier forks but yet retain the great suspension that I have at higher trail speeds.
It is the LSC that controls this isn’t it?

Also, would 2.5 weight fork oil help this?  I currently have 5 weight in it.
