Oke let me try to explain why i think my suspension work helped me.
When I bought this bike i was so happy with my first ever real enduro bike i did not care about anything then that i had finally an one year old 2stroke that was of nowadays standards. My baby was called Husk WR250 from 1998.
With marzocchies conventional 50mm upfront and a boge sachs shock.
This for the details.
After a few years, getting used to the power(i came of a XR250 from 1988), and discovering this forum, I started to think about suspension as i already worked myself tru the engine(grin, numerous times). I then realised that my weight of 62kgs normally wld ask for revalving and softer springs etc.
It was since last year that i really had the feeling i needed to do something about the suspension after i entered my first enduro. The other guys were so much faster over the rough stuff i was blaiming myself at first for being a chicken. The guys looked so smooth over the ruts that it opened my eyes and directed me to my suspension. With my eyes opened i glared to my competitor bikes and asked anybody to let me push and try their suspension. It was then that i realised that my shoch was waaayyyyy off. The rebound was tooooo slow, compared to their bikes, so the first i did was back off the rebound. Well, finally the reb clickers were full open, and still the rebound was too slow. So, now i had a reason to open the shock and see what i cld do about it. With doing all the reading on this forum i removed low speed shims and created a better rebound. At the same time, considering all the info, i went also softer on the compression stack to get more reaktion out of the comp right away.
Putting everything back together i pumped the reservoir to 160psi.
I had to open the shock another few times to arrange the stack a little but now i am happy for the moment, and it is so must more lively. Unbelievable.
Same shock day and night.
At the same time when looking to the shock i found my forks to fast on the rebound. So the other way around. Also when i filled up the bike it wld sack 60mm, that i thought was too much. I found the bike very mushy tru the singletracks and thought if i stiffened her up in the front the steering wld become more direct. I was riding competition mtb with rigid forks tru the woods at that time and that always gave me a precise steering feeling although the bumps wld kill you in the end.
So i made a few spacers for the fork spring and rearranged shimstacks.
There are more topics concerning what i did to the cartridge etc.
So now i have the feeling i customised my suspension a bit to my satisfaction but still keeps me thinking if it can be improved still.
But like Marcus said, maybe it is just a search for the wholy grail. U maybe never find it.
