Re: What have you tinkered with today?
been messing with my spare cartridges for my forks over the past few weeks in preparation to service them. lapped the pistons, polished the shims, rearranged the shim stacks and closed the top bleed holes. put the forks back together two days ago with 70% pro rsf 2.5w and 30% pro rsf 5w to give a cSt@40c of roughly 17.5 (suzuki SS-05 is 15.7).
just been out for a little blat about and i must say it feels pretty good but i think i need to remove another fast comp shim as its still a bit fierce over large bumps. feels much much better with the lighter oil mix in it as before i was using full pro rsf 5w and the forks always felt really stiff but now they are a lot more compliant but still dont dive on the brakes. the forks actually feel a lot better than the MCT custom valving i had in the other carts.
