Back to the forks
Since i had issues with my 50mm magnums last year (in the end i set every thing to baseline settings and the bike seemed perfect)
I had been practising on endo practice tracks and fields mostly flat stuff.
At the weekend i found some land where someone had made some jumps and table tops.
My problem now is that each jump (no down side ) flat landing. The forks bottom out big time, so much that it spat me off as i landed forks bottomed rebounded up as i accelerated really big off.
I know the forks are very basic compared to todays standards.
I did increase the compression and rebound by 3 clicks which greatly inproved cornering but did nothing whilst landing.
fork oil height is 140mm est.
On the compression fork i know the free bleed is excessive it does nothin for the first 3inches of compression.
I am currently looking for replacement forks (later model) if any one has any for sale,
Other than that if i raise the oil height would that help?
I know the bike is not made for motocross but it should cope with the odd jump or two.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
