Back off your MV float to 1.25 mm or so, or you could try a .10 face shim (I have not yet). I'm running close to what you have with even more float and its great, NO high speed harshness. For sand courses you do not need or want anymore bleed in the LS base valve, its loose enough already. Moto9's terrain and mine are much different that yours. A "slap" landing like you describe is also not the best way to judge performance.

So, there's minimal free bleed for the very tiny trail trash, then the shim can lift for the bigger trash, it's lift is determined by the crossover dia and thickness. It can only lift the amount you set with the crossover and the shim above the crossover. Basically a copy of the RT GR2 design (sorta speak) There is more tune-ability. I mean you can add more bleed, take away bleed Use a thicker or a bigger diameter crossover shim. Same for the shim that sits on top of the crossover shim, and so on...it can be a little mind boggling. This set-up may be way off, All's I know is that I really like the action of the fork, the faster I go the better it works. yes on the .10 shim. I still think you may need a stiffer spring...forget about the numbers....if your fork is settling in the mid stroke thru most of your ride around the track, then you need to get the fork to ride higher and that is best done with a spring. Most forks are vastly over damped and under sprung. If you take two riders that weight the same, one is a pro level rider, one is a novice, who do you think would need a stiffer spring? A pro tuner told me once that vet riders need a plusher valve set up because they hit everything in the track, that's why it's harder to tune for us old guys...meaning me! Anyways, hope that helped. |

Guys, what´s the fork SAG supposed to be? Mine´s kinda unbalanced now with the .48s 69mm race sag up front. Static is 26.
Need a stiffer rear spring as well 105 race and 20mm free sag with a 54N/mm spring. how much stiffer is a 56? Enough or do I need a 58...? Anyway, havent had time to work on the bike much, mid/rebound is the same. Tried a different BV setup though that I liked, more predictable feeling through the stroke no harsh hit on the HS when the stack entered the 3d stage on the "stockish" shimstack. No mx on this though. I think a little freebleed would be good and more LS. 22*.1 22 11*.2 20*.1 19 17 15 11.2 |

Hi Moto9,
please can you explain your work a little bit more for me. I'm a greenhorn in suspension tuning and technical english. Quote:
I guess you mean the BV? To barely close off the ports you use 22x0.1? Crossover 11x0.25 for examble when I wan't it softer for bigger trashs. Face shim 22x0.1? and then the stack Quote:
now I use this BV for more LS and less HS I go to this (like right beside) When I use a smaller diameter for the first shim I think I got less LS. 22 x 0,1 11 x 0,2 -> 13 x 0.25 22 x 0,1 -> 20 x 0.1 22 x 0,1 21 x 0,1 19 x 0,1 17 x 0,1 15 x 0,1 14 x 0,15 13 x 0,15 11 x 0,1 11 x 0,2 How can I take away bleed when I use a 22 x 0.1 shim? Quote:
Then the fork works higher in the stroke - right? But this isn't so easy to handle when go slower. Why? Before I revalve my Shiver 45 - I ride 5.0N/mm Springs (85kg wo. wear). It felt no the good but I think this depends on the weak stock rebound damping before. What I have to do else when I change the springs from 4.5 to 5.0 - stiffen up the rebound stack? may be you can can give me more support

I just re-valved my 03 Shivers for my 110kg butt with 0.45kg/mm springs.
Comp stack is now (with all 0.1mm shims): 22,22,12,22,20,20,19,17,14,12,11,10 Haven't ridden it though. I expect it to be firm but consistent.

Or, send them to Les at LTR...my friend had his suspension don by Les and was really happy. BTY he used a plastic gun case to ship them. |
