Anyone revalve a kdx shock?

Post by Acmesalute76 »

I have a 2004 kdx 220. I know the forks don't have shim stacks and there's not much that can be done with the stock components, but I'd like to revalve the shock. Anyone know what kind of stack to put in there? I'm 180lbs, fast C class harescrambler, riding rough new england terrain: rocks, roots, tight single track. I'm looking to get a lot more plushness.

You will probably need to take it to a tuner. I don't know of anyone who has done it on this site.

Have you messed with the clickers at all?

I currently have the front and rear compression clickers all the way out. I can't remember where the rear rebound is set, a few clicks in from stock I believe. This setup works the best for me. I also have .38 fork springs. I still crave more plushness though. I'd like to be able to fly through rocks and not get bounced all over the place.

I just bought a rear shock Gold Valve on Ebay for $55, and sent it to my shock builder with a bottle of suspension fluid. He rebuilt it for $30.

Let me know if you need more info.
