Many bikes used these forks, gasgas, KTM, husqvarna, aprilia, beta etc... So parts are still quite easy to get a hold of.

I haven't tested mine yet, I've tried going mega soft so now I'm going from;

(Dr Shox recommended, with his valving)

Front
0.5 springs, 2mm preload
5w (23cst) @ 100mm
Comp 20 out
Rebound 6 out

Rear
5.7,
30/105 sag
Comp 15
HS Comp 2 turns
Rebound 18

To;

Front
0.5 springs, 7mm preload
7.5w (33cst... Atf, ehem) @ 100mm
Comp 6 out
Rebound 6 out

Rear
5.7,
30/105 sag
Comp 2
HS Comp 1.5 turns
Rebound 10

I'm 95kg nekkid and 6' tall.

I know this is a drastic change, but I have done a hell of a lot of playing with the clickers and constantly feel like I'm chasing myself. The main thing I've noted is even my friends 04 yz250 feels much stiffer damping wise than mine with standard springs. This set up feels as similar to his as I can get, and the front and rear feel pretty equal (where the front always felt like it was 10x softer). When Dr Shox did the valving the main difference was the fork rebound clicker actually did something, I'll be interested when I do take it all apart to see what changed on the compression side...

Haven't ridden it yet, hopefully out this weekend and will report back.
