Message: [QUOTE="Robcolo, post: 927832, member: 28062"] [b]Springs and things[/b] I'm now riding a KDX. With stock .35 fork springs the bike is wonderful in the nastiest of conditions -- 1st & 2nd gear stuff. I did install Gold Valves to eliminate severe spiking from the stock on-off base valves. Get into 3rd or 4th and try going around a flat corner the bike will wash out every time. INstalling .38s up front completely elilminates the wash-out tendency but now it's like my KX in the nasties-- lots of work. [maybe I should try .37s?] Anyhow I'm playing with a dual rate spring. Stock .35 steel springs in there then I've added a subtank, micro pressure gauge and small air pump and can add or subtract air quickly as the terrain changes. I'm still playing with subtank volume but it seems to overall work pretty good. major problem i'm having is a bit of excess stiction from the added air pressure squeezing the seals to the fork tubes.
