Im no pro, but i can roll over 150 feet on the regular. I want to go to the next level. I want to know which is better between soft or stiff settings on shocks? Stiffer the better or softer the better????

 

WTF???? Nobody has experimented with setups before?

 

stii setup... lower the rebound stiffen the compression a bit. You want the fork to compress and stick instead of bouncing up and pogo-ing.

I built my front end with 1.0 springs, 15 weight oil (2 steps heavier than stock), and had it revalved for a slower rebound.

 

1.0 fork springs are the trick if you are over 190 lbs.! I did the same thing and love it.
Heavier fork oil and some other little tricks help too.

There was another fork/stoppie setup thread where mr. gorka explained his set-up..........I gave it a shot and holy shyt I love it........went from 150ish to well over 200' consistently.....then I flipped one!

 

Hahahaha! Yeah, I started trying to get em further and I've flipped a couple! I got a good technique for getting off the bike when it happens though!

 

I got a good technique for minimizing the damage to the bike......well, either that or I'm good at using my body to take the impact!

I never did wreck an endo.....got a couple on the street rolling 250+ and in the lot could do 225 pretty consistently when there was enough room....then tried to push it too far too soon and wham.....ow.....***.....ow......straight to the ER!

 

if you don't want pogo-ing, then you want to stiffen the rebound damping; and stoppies come up easier if you lower compression damping (that also icreases the life of fork seals).

 

just got a text message on how to roll endoes like Bill D............weld your fork tubes solid!
