[QUOTE="Firebalsocal, post: 739196, member: 44589"] The bike is a CR500Af in a 2002 CR250 frame. Complete revalve, respring, and enzo subtanks. The bike was valved primarily for sand duning in glamis. It works great there however I am racing a Grand Prix this weekend and in fast desert sections with small whoops, the bike rides very harsh. It's to the point that I can't see clearly at speed (5th gear, aprox. 75-80 mph). The bike will go faster but I don't feel it's safe. The bike has a scotts steering dampener and exibits no headshake. The slow speed clickers seem to stop having any affect after maybe 4 clicks out from the standard settings provided by MX-tech. I'm not sure if the subtanks have anything to do with this. There were no instructions on the subtanks provided with the tanks. There is a shrader valve at the base of each tank and a brass screw towards the top. I don't know what either of these do. The high speed adjuster on the shock should make some difference but the forks are most of the problem. I weigh aprox. 165 in gear. The fork springs are .40 with a 450cc oil level. Reb. and Comp. are both set at 12 from MX-Tech. The shock spring is a 5.0. Reb. is set at 10. Hi speed comp. is 1 1/2 and the low speed is 12. Anyone have some insite? [/QUOTE]
