09 EC300R Fork Compression re-valving
Hi all,
I feel the high speed valving could do with a bit of a tweak. I am 110kgs (242lbs) and have 0.46kg fork springs in it! Here is what is in it: 26D x .15 (5) 24 x .2 12 x .15 22 x .2 20 x .2 18 x .15 61 x .15 12 x .15 10 x .3 Firstly where do I get 7mm id shims from? I have been die grinding KTM shims so far. My new stack is: 26D x .15 (3) 24 x .1 (3) 12 x .15 22 x .2 20 x .1 18 x .15 61 x .15 12 x .15 10 x .3 Any suggestions???

Suggestions about the shim stack or where to get 7mm shims from? I would have thought Go Fasters would have the shims you need - though didn't look to see if you are in the US.

I did some testing last night and I have actually gone the wrong way I think. I need to increase the compression.
I might chuck out the delta shims, put the 20 x .2 back in and either change the cross over shim to a smaller one or make it a single stage stack instead. I'm in Melbourne, Australia and have got some shims out of Sydney, but I will get onto go faster about them. Anyone know a contact for paioli on Europe as they are the same shim too.

I believe K-tech suspension inthe UK carry these shims. I have not confirmed this but I was told they do.

I have had good luck with correcting the spring rate for the riders weight and then valving the compression stack lighter... and/or lowering the oil level.
But that's with Showa and KYB, I'll dig into the fork and shock when I get the new bike. The heavier spring gets the bike to ride higher in the stroke and I find it plusher there, then control the action with the valving. I wonder how adding some float or free bleed would work, I ride tight greasy rooted jungle trails...I added some free bleed to the base valve and I like the results, not sure it would even work on the Marz |

Hi Guys,
I Just Bought Myself A New Ec 300 09 And Could Use Some Help With The Rear Suspension. Would It Be Easy To Give Me The Standard Settings For It As The User Manual Is A Little Confusing??? Thanx |

I have just done fork seals so now I know the specs for these forks. I may as well post them here so I remember them for next time.
Oil: 5wt Air Gap: 100mm (I changed it to 110mm and the fork feels plusher) Fork Seals: 48 x 58 x 9.3/11.0 (I used KTM 48mm seals 48x58x9.5/10.3) Dust Seals 48 x 58 (Yammie or KTM 48mm)
