I have a simple mid-valve mod that takes a lot of the harshness out without totally losing trail feel ... and yes, the more time the better. Make sure you check your upper spring seat shims - they're too thin and like to cup and crack ... just before they break and destroy your fork.

How soon does this happen? I may talk to you after our season winds up. I'm busy setting up our local HS for next weekend and then it's off to So MO for some trail riding at Thanksgiving. After that the studded tires get mounted on my...cough, choke, er...KTM for winter riding season.
