Heres some help for u guys, this is a good start to getting ur frontend setup...
http://www.gostar-racing.com/informa...0YOUR%20WEIGHT

and if ur gonna change to 15w oil, u might as well invest in some springs. I have Racetech ones in my f4i frontend as well as the gold valves and its as good as a inverted fork setup like a 929/954. ZERO POGO...
BTW Ive logged miles on the front wheel of this setup but Ive finally got it perfect. All u can do is play with it and find what u like

Love me some T-Dub

Re: Me Clip

Yeah there's a screw on top of the fork and one at the bottom rear of the fork under the caliper. Top is compression and botton is rebound i believe..

Yeah I'd love to do the new springs and valves but I just can't afford that right now . Was trying to figure out a buddies bike why he was having problems and he's stock everything and I couldn't get it to come up lol. Tire would wash out or i'd have to burry the brakes just to get it up.. What settings do you have your forks set up at. I think mine are 2 clicks from full hard all around.

the preload for the springs is the Big nuts on top of the fork (run these in almost all the way to stiffen it up) , the compression is the little flat head screw adjuster and the rebound is at the bottom of the for tube (both of these u will have to play with, key is to get the bikes nose to not dip too hard or bottom out and then unload even slower)

Re: Me Clip

And if you change it MAKE SURE you put cartridge type oil in and NOT regular fork oil.

I learned the hard way.
