[QUOTE="Harry Reed, post: 204009, member: 25087"] Well Jer, here goes. I think that before I, or anyone gives their theory on anything to do with suspension, we need to issue a disclaimer. I guess it should go something like this. As we go on through the years building and tuning on these things we begin to understand one very important thing. We really do not know as much as we think ! The best thing about being a suspension geek is that almost every day I learn something that I did not know the day before. It is still a black art that even the best engineers in the world still strugle with. What works for one person, the next one hates. Take for instance the debate over gas piston vs bladder. I installed a bladder in Two customers KTM SX 250's this year, one liked it, the other wanted to hit me over the head with it. The big differance was riding ability. The guy who liked it was a better rider. I like the piston better, I can control oil volume more prisicely with the piston, I also feel that I can run lower gas pressure with out the fear of dumping & cavitation. I think that it creates a higher nose pressure, sure there is more friction, but with all that area of a bladder, do you think it would create more heat? The fact is that they both work. I am going to do some testing in the near future on some cup cars by running a bladder against a gas piston damper. The car will have a PI system on it, so I should be able to get some very good info for you. Hope that I did not ramble on to much. [/QUOTE]
