[QUOTE="SndyRds, post: 85720, member: 21650"] 99KX 250 Current settings: Forks comp full soft, rebound in the middle, spring: stock (I think) pink dot marked on spring. Oil level 90mm from top w/ springs out, Mobil 1 atf. Action is (very) harsh during first few inches, I can feel all small bumps. Next part of stroke seems to be good, worked well through some unexpected deep whoops encountered at a faster than expected speed, tracked well, but did not bottom. Rear Shock is set up a little soft (settings only & will stiffen a little later on, otherwise shock is very good). Is this fork action inherent on USD fork?s. I cannot afford to revalve or respring at this time. I am thinking of going to a 2w or 5w oil (Mobil 1 is 7w Right?) and lowering oil level to 100mm to start from. Should I go lower with oil setting? I would like to try the 2w first. Silkolene synthetic is available, but I might be able to find KYB O1 ( I believe thats what it is). I am 195 pound rider, off road only, no radical jumping, however I would like the suspension to work ok if a the occasional jump occours. Fork seals and oil serviced recently. Just looking for your thoughts on levels, wts, and brands of oil. My feelings are that if comp is full soft and harshness is there. by trying what I propose I can get the usefullness of my clickers farther into the middle. I realize that there is no substitute for revalving and profession tuning, but until I do this, I can try different settings, and at least improve on what I have now. Well what do you think? :think :think :think [/QUOTE]
