[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 69288, member: 20897"] If you had the forks rebuilt, they will break in and get a little softer. Make sure you bleed the air build-up, and experiment with different oil heights. My bike is very sensitive to oil height, too little and it bottoms, too much and it gets stiff and harsh. I also started to use ATF in my forks, and it seems to work quite well. If you are racing motocross, you want the forks to be fairly stiff so you can skip across the tops of the whoops. Try lowering the oil height in 5mm increments. And ride harder! ;) P.S. I have Pro-Action suspension, and their valving does run a little on the stiff side, but I like my suspension that way, as I tend to slam obstacles and ride aggressively. ------------------ 1992 KDX 250-FMF porting,two-stage power reeds, Fatty pipe, Power Core silencer,titanium rod,Wiseco Ultra-lite, Pro-Action suspension...Oh my Gawd, they killed Kenny!
