[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 348919, member: 16552"] Control of the frontend comes from the rebound action of the forks. Too much rebound damping (too slow) and it will cut (low side) too little (too fast) and it will wash (high side). That's not my idea. Check any suspension site any you'll read that. Given the kdx doesn't have rebound damping (well, in stock form), the idea can be transferred to a too-soft spring. If it's riding low cuz it's not up to the task, it also will NOT be giving you any 'push' or rebound. Guess you could look at that positively as 'eliminating understeer' or negatively as 'increases oversteer';). How about it's just right from the gitgo? No, I sure wouldn't want to ride with .44s, but that's close to 'the book' from some tuners for #210/no gear (I assume. Vandean said 'I weigh...'). I'm 180-or-so, and I thought .42s were AWFUL! But, you won't find me on any moto-track, neither! Go with what you know! A stock kdx is NOT setup for a #210 rider. So, fix it!:) Glad to hear your sag is set. I'll wager most bikes aren't. Hhmmm...what's your free sag? At 210#, is it over an inch? That's a 'too light' rear spring indication. ***edit*** A misspeak. An error. Brain flatulence. Free sag OVER an inch is indicative of too [b] heavy/strong[/b] a spring. Correctly stated would be: At 210#, is it less than 1/2 an inch? That's a 'too light' rear spring indication. [/QUOTE]
