Message: [QUOTE="joe28kdx, post: 277201, member: 25054"] I just installed my Gold Valving from Race Tech I got through Freddette. Man,it wasn't hard!! For years I was sending them out!! I swapped the fork spring last summer for a set of ATK 21 lbs from an 88 KX125 I raced back then. I cut the spacer to make the ATK springs/spacer the same size as the stockers. It worked really well with 7.5 weight oil at 100mm and 12 clicks out. Now the questions. I got my print out on all my setting from Race-Tech. I needed 10 mm of preload. so I screw the fork cap on, measure from the top of the spring to the cap add 10mm and cut a spacer. This is @30mm shorted than the last set up. I figure I won't think and follow instructions to the "T". I put 130mm of oil of 5 wt. oil in,(another oddity) and assemble the forks. I know it makes them plush but, it kinda mushy cuz theres less preload. This is just pushing one down against the other un valved, bigger spacer fork. Questions; 1. Am I on the right track with Preload? 2. What will I find with less preload, how should I know if I have to add more?? 3. Does anyone else run 5 wt instead of 7.5/10?? with the valving? 4. Does Fredette have a Tech Hot line I could call and pick thier brain?? I try riding it, but it like 10 degrees out and snow covered . It rained and now it all icy.:ugg: I wonder now if I did the right thing. I had the forks working really good, and thought what if.....
