I think herein lies the problem.I try to jump it like i jump my downhill bike.
You may want to get another opinion. In fact, please get another opinion. You may need different springs for your weight, but the CRF does NOT have poor suspension. Will a revalve make it better? Possibly, depends on your ability and where/what you ride.he seems to think it's stemming from the CRF's poor suspension. I am having it overhauled.
Actually according to many sources, suspension is one of the most fundamental elements of the machine
Sounds like you're on the right path... add to that, grip the bike with your knees, but stay loose. Keep constant throttle all the way off, don't gas it on the lip. Roll the throttle off when you leave the jump face. The bike will fly level, assuming you are in a natural body position with your head over the bars.Im getting used to the four stroke power. I am also expirimenting with how much gas to give it off the lip of jumps, on the face of jumps and howe much preload.
That statement comes from a lack of experieince :) If you've ever had suspension setup FOR YOU, your skill level and what you ride (woods, MX, SX, etc), you don't know what you're missing. The improvement is not so much with jumping, rather with soaking up bumps, front and rear hooking up better, the front feeling more planted... etc, etc. My point earlier was that until a rider gets some of the basic techniques down, he won't see a real advantage to having the suspension done.Seriously, I still can't fathom what I'd do with a "better" suspension

I Do not have my feet attached to the pegs, but I think that squeezing with my ankles would provide a similar effect.
