I have the system for my MTB. I think its pretty good but you have to use it as a tool and not the end all be all. I think what its done for me best is getting a good spring rate and good rebound speeds front and rear. In the end you need to decide what feels best for you but it has pushed me to experiment more with setups. I would have never run the rebound speeds that I am running now without it or tried the spring rate that I am running now as well. I would...

Thank you for taking the time to provide a detailed response and share your direct experience you had with it. Love your clamps and spanner. They have been extremely useful for me on both the ravens and the 7548's. Will probably pickup the shock tool soon. (Trying to get my own vac pump setup working so I can move past the DRC cup) Similar experience for me, I have basically moved to offroad focused and just doing moto for training/cardio/coaching. I race more on the national enduro style courses and occasional local hare scramble/gp style race. So getting consistent and...

Thanks for your reply. I have gone through all the basic steps again It is my sons bike by the way,a 2025 ktm sx 250,he weighs about 83kg with full gear I opened the bleeder screws again and a lot of air escaped,so that will help. But i found out he had a collision with another rider on the side off his forks and i loosend the axle clamp and the fork popped out almost 5mm. All those things together probably explain the stiff feeling. We will try on the track again with 140 psi and see how it handles...

The correct length spring for the shock design, is 240mm +/- 5mm. Very tough to fit longer with the Xtrig collar. I have fit 247mm as well as 250mm springs to PRODUCTION shock with standard collar however the design length is always best bet. Time for new spring!

I purchased the Race Tech Compression tool listed above, but would purchase from this guy if I'd seen it in time: WP Cone Valve/ 6500 Finger Clicker compatible compression cap socket – DejaMoto If you need the other tools, this might be a good deal as well: DejaMoto WP 48mm Cone Valve fork service bundle

Keep in mind, spring rate is determined by the thickness of the wire the spring is wound from. That means a higher rate spring is physically bigger and displaces more oil and air. That means you'd need to have specific oil volumes calculated for each leg based on what rate spring is in it. I know, this is miniscule stuff and I personally would not care. Just wanted to make the heads explode on the guys that fret over 5cc of oil.. hahaa

Throw a sticker on it and forget about it. I know that’s hard to do but it is cosmetic only. Fixing it would be a huge pain in the ass with no return except cosmetics.

Chopper affect. Too much sag out back and fork tubes too low in the triple clamps. Good luck

I just restored a set of Showa 47s last night for a CRF restoration, and man, i miss those forks. They performed great and had very few changes over the years. As someone said above, Art of War is doing some air conversions with the kits that you linked. I have a couple sets of KYB converted forks, and i have been tempted more than once to set up a Showa 47 conversion set. I wish their US distribution was better..

I’ll go and I’ll do pit bits like this
