[QUOTE="James Dean, post: 24650, member: 18501"] I owe you guys a report back on the altered fork valving on my WR. This is what I went with - (5) 24 X .1mm (was 6 shims) 14 X .1 12 X .1 (new) 24 X .1 22 X .1 20 X .1 18 X .1 16 X .1 (was 16 X .15) 14 X .15 12 X .15 11 X .25 18 X .5 ------------ My riding impressions were in tight to medium woods riding with lots of rocks and roots. The forks still had a good firm controlled feel but lost alot of harshness in the rocks and roots. I found myself looking further ahead and riding faster as it was building confidence. It used to make me tense up for sharp hits and the change allowed me to just keep the throttle open more. The few whoops we had were still handled well. I had 2 KTM 520exc's to chase and be chased by during the ride. They had been giving me trouble in these conditions before, but not now. Except when I stalled, those e-start bikes aren't fair. [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/mad.gif[/img] It's tempting to try softening more, but I didn't feel the bike was holding me back. My thoughts are that the increased crossover gap (.2mm) was the biggest change, followed by 1 less shim on the LS (6 to 5). The reduced size (12 X .1 - new) on the crossover may not be as effective from a number of factors such as curvature and having a 4 port layout. The 16 X .1 softened the HS slightly also gave a little extra thread coverage putting it back together. Insights anyone? James [/QUOTE]
