[QUOTE="Vester, post: 69806, member: 17173"] I found some stuff on Eric Gorr's site last night that has me puzzled. This is a quote from his article on suspension tuning. "With regards to the sizes of the shims, the larger the diameter and the thinner the thickness, the more easily the shim will bend and increase oil flow through the piston. The faster the oil flow the less the damping." Which this leaves me confused now. Like on your #3 stack when you opted to change the 12x0.15 shim for the 14x0.15 for more LSC, you in turn lightened the damping because of the larger shim diameter. Same goes for the 19x0.1 shim that was switched for the 18x0.1 for less LSC. Because of the thicker diameter you in turn stiffened it? Could someone clear this up for me? ------------------ Vester 96 RM250 "Let's see if an "A" rider tries it first.." [/QUOTE]
