Hey guys, some things I've noticed, btw mine are last years.

The inserts and springs take a while to beak in, maybe 5 to 6 hrs then rapid improvement over the next few.

They take a while to warm up and if you are trying to dial in settings, you need warm forks.

2.5 wt rsf seems to work best for me, it is roughly the cst of the recommended ohlins oil and gives the best ride and allows you to keep the clickers close to stock (im 19 out for everything except moto 15) which aids in bottoming resistance. I'm 13 out reb except moto 10. I use 310 mm oil and get soft bottoming when wheelying into hard g outs.

The forks have a 1 or 2 click "washout threshold" too much Compression and it starts to drift. It's at 18 for me except prepared sandy moto tracks.

My bike feels better with a soft sidewall tire like Pirelli ms32 or Metz 6de soft.

Once you get used to the different feel they are very confidence inspiring and don't wear you out.

I'm very happy with them.
