Re-Adjusted KX Forks

Post by Green Hornet »

Well, I softened the compression 2 clicks and rode it in the rocks, mud, Logs and what a difference this frontend makes. I am able to go a hellavalot faster through the trails now. Too bad I only got 2 hrs a ride time in. Haveta get more in before June 11th.

Isn't it great the way they actually "work" now. Keep making logical adjustments and it may keep getting better. I went to SC last weekend and immediately took 2 clicks compression out of both ends. And after another 10 minutes I ended up taking an additional click out of the rear. And it was felt and it was good. My sand set-up for here is significantly different but it does fall within the scope of what sand conditions should be. Yesterdays ride ended up with and additional 2 clicks of front rebound which made fast cornering stable. I think NOT trying different settings is NOT doing yourself any favors.
