[QUOTE="SATxMotoX, post: 101778, member: 21706"] I don't know how much help I'll be since I'm not a suspension expert but I'll give it a shot anyways... I'm assuming that your suspension woes are most likely due to changing track conditions. You have to change suspension to match conditions just like you have to rejet when the weather changes. One question. You mention that your front end had a tendency to "dive in easier" and was "tucking under". I may be wrong but I think thats a sign of compression being to soft and reboud being to hard. Also, when you say "one click up" or "one click down" do you mean up=hard and down=soft? I'd also say it's likely that your back end was kicking up due to too hard of rebound setting but it could also be caused by letting off the throttle too soon. One other point. If you have a service manual for your bike it should give you the proper spring rates for your bike. If you are running stock springs then I'd bet your undersprung both front and back. For whatever reason the bike makers think we are all 5'10" and 160lbs. When your 5'10" and 220lbs riding those stock springs are a little weak. In any case, it could be a starting point...especially if your riding hard and jumping high. Hope this helps somewhat. BTW, what race are you racing on the 23rd and where? Adios. P.S. If you are looking for E. Gorr's latest book on tuning then check the local Barnes and Nobles. I picked one up there for about $25. If I had it in front of me now I'd probably be able to help you more but I left it at my desk at work. [/QUOTE]
