[QUOTE="yamadawg, post: 24661, member: 20785"] Mtrhead, Here is my take.First what is the problem excatly.I the front end deflecting,harsh,I dont know so since I ride on alot of the same conditions here is what I would do. 1.Do your springs match your ride weight.if they are to light then the front end is going to already be into the stroke causing the forks to be harsh.you are already into the stiff part of the valving. 2.fork hight in the tripple tree will be the main factor in how the bike steers the higher the fork is in the tree the quicker the bike will steer.just the opp. when they are lower in the tree it will be slower. 3.if your in alot of muddy conditons then the more mud hince more weight and the bike ends up in the travel and creates harshness. other than that suspension takes time,alot of time,to get right and you still have to plan for later race conditions.. Start out making small adjustments and do make to many at one time.keep a log on your changes so you know what is working and not working.Also try to keep your fork oil and shock oil as fresh as possible. Also remember that usually you should adjust things just the oppisite from what you think. It just takes time, I know that you dont have alot of it so good luck and hope that this helps... ------------------ it dont hurt till the bone shows. 2001 YZ 250 [/QUOTE]
