no variation in rebound (Shiver 45)

[bchatt]

Glad you found a good solution. Are you using the 7.5 wt oil with this shim stack?

[Klausen]

you have to know that the SAE weight system has a very broad and vague viscosity range and does not even cover the viscosity range that most quality motorcycle suspension systems require.
look post #16

yes I use finally a 7,5 but this is a mix 1:1 Motul Expert
SAE 5 and SAE 10
this viscosity is near the Marzocchi fork oil of 26,1 cSt@40C

good luck

my springs 4,5N/mm with 5mm preload

I thinks this setup don't work for you 2004 Shiver 45 forks.
I believe you have different pistons and no mid valve only a check plate.
A have a 2006 Shiver 45.

A good dealer in Greece can sell you this shims.
I can also offer you this shims. 1,80€ per shim is fair I think + P&P
Bye

when I land after a large jump in the flat or in deep sand bumps
the forks feels to stiff at the end of the level
what can I do?
the fork use the full level (I use cable tie)

Are they bottoming out? Mine does it on MX tracks. I live with it because I like the way it works in the woods. Maybe decrease the check valve float??

[Klausen]

Are they bottoming out?

I don't think so. I can jump very far no bottoming.
When I jump and land first with the rear wheel and the hard with the front wheel it feels very harsh.

Maybe decrease the check valve float??

I believe the the LS damping will be to soft after this for me - at the moment I would prefere some more LS
