I'm rebuilding my own stacks at the moment. This my second attempt.

Hi Anders
It has been a long battle sorting my forks out so hope this a help to you..a local tuner had been in mine and basically Put valves in upside down and shims in different order in each leg.
I'm lucky enough to have a good mate who owns a bike garage who has been great help in sorting this out and getting hold of the information needed

I took out 1 x 32 x 0.15 and 2 x 11 x 20 in the cartridge compression stack.
cartridge air gap as manual (had some knocking first time so dipped valve in oil to remove air)
300cc in outer chamber
pfp at 1.5
rebound 16
compression 15
new bushes and fork seals and internally new seals on damping rods as one was leaking all the oil out of the cartridge.
my cartridge spring is 3.9mm (2012 racing) we have measured the spring in a 2017 is 3.5mm.. I'm guessing this has been altered to soften things up ?
have put in silkolene rsf 7.5 ..
