[QUOTE="zio, post: 849687, member: 19332"] My 2003 300 ex/c I bought from a DRN'er came with revalved forks & shock with stiffer springs, he was a 225lb A racer. I'm a 190 lbs right now (10 or so more than normal). My forks aren't plush at all. They're stiff, and I'm talking stiff compared to a stock '01 YZF250, '04 CRF450 and CRF250X I rode back to back on our little track with lots of braking bumps & a few tables. The forks & shock are great on the jumps, it's just the small chop I'm getting hammered on. It's like I feel every pebble. I originally thought I'd be fine with the stiffer springs, as I read all the time (paper rags as well as suspension shop websites) that stiffer springs are sometimes required for dudes my size, and also they don't necessarily make suspension stiffer. And I also thought that stiffer springs combined with a revalve from Emig Racing would still be acceptable. But man, it's not like I expected. And after going fast into a particular downhill durn with lots of braking bumps on the YZF on Sunday, I can't ignore the difference anymore. I felt nothing on the YZF. Amazing! So, do I need to get the stock springs back in there? Or is it the valving I need tinkered with? Or so I need to do something horrible like going over to the dark side? :yikes: [/QUOTE]
