[QUOTE="drehwurm, post: 24428, member: 20888"] Servus James, Ok, lets see: 24x0.1 2x At first I though of adding another 24x0.1 shim, but after looking at my Gold Valve chart this seems too radical a change. 15x0.1 12x0.1 You are a good salesman ;-) I would have changed the stock 12x0.15 to a 13 or 14x0.15 to stiffen LSC a little, but your suggestion seems very interesting. Besides, I'm also curious how the enlarged crossover gap works. Sold! 22 x 0.1 18 x 0.1 (remove the 20 x 0.1) 16 x 0.1 14 x 0.1 Nope, I like the 22x0.1, 20x0.1, 19x0.1, 17x0.1, 14x0.1 very much so far, so I won't change it this time. Maybe removing the 20x0.1 from this stack, but that's something for later. 12 x 0.1 (this just looks better on paper [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] ) I want to go even more radical like 14x0.1 (or 14x0.15), 13x0.1, 12x0.1, 11x0.1 to fight bottoming after large jumps without raising the oil level to its maximum. So after I receive the shims I've on order my stack will look like this: 24x0.1 2x 15x0.1 12x0.1 22x0.1 20x0.1 (candidate for removing) 19x0.1 17x0.1 14x0.l 13x0.1 12x0.1 11x0.1 (probably useless) That's one of the problems here - once you have ridden or owned a bike with great suspension, you are spoiled forever. This was with my 1998 Yamaha WRz400 with Gold Valves (valved after a recommandation from MX Tuna - thanks) and an Öhlins shock revalved by MH Racing. This bike worked for me being fast or slow, doing MX or Enduro, just everywhere! I won't stop experimenting with the KTM till the suspension works either as good or I sell the bike!!! Nevertheless I'm very hopeful because the stock suspension works so well (surprisingly). None of the KTMs I've ridden previously, including my riding buddies 2000 KTM 250EXC after 2 revalves, came even close. Hope you have more luck with yours! BTW, when the suspension is fixed we can start the "needle-thing" - again ;-)))) Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas and experience - just too bad you can't go for a beer on the internet.
