Front fork valves - freebie fix is great
Posted: 12:31 am May 31 2006
After reading about it on this list I removed 2 shims from each fork and set the oil level at 100 mm. This is on a 05 KDX220. I already had resprung it for my weight. I am 250 + lbs. I used 5 wt oil.
I test rode it on Mountain single track and high speed desert (pinned in 6th gear with stock sprockets) through the sage. Night and day difference for the better. Awesome. I set the compression clickers dead center at 11 clicks out from full hard.
I believe I could set the oil at stock 85 - 87 mm and still have a nice ride but i am not messing with it.
Thank you for mentioning this mod. I no longer get beat up in the fast or slow square edges, roots or rocks.
