Sand Enjoyer Added a reply to Have you tried aftermarket spring perches? (+susp. internal parts chat)
3/3/2023 2:08pm Hit the nail on the head honestly. The thought of a summer full of fork teardowns while juggling full time work and full time school is making me want to light the bike on fire. The forks feel great and I've already gone down the rabbit hole once chasing settings and never want to again. That is why a "lazy"...

I have showa twin cartridge 47s and added 5cc a few weeks ago with almost zero difference. I added 5 more yesterday and the feel is alot better, I ended up going 8 clicks out on compression and was surprised to still have decent bottom resistance

3/3/2023 1:35pm So what you're saying is probably dont start by adding 20cc/mL of oil as a first measure? go up in 5mL's? I have done this before but on different bikes and I can't remember noticing a huge difference but it's been a LONG time.

3/3/2023 1:34pm What you speak of is what I fear. I do not want to chase valving settings for a long time, or find bottoming resistance but gain harshness. It feels great as is, it just needs some more progression deep in the stroke. I'll consider JBI perches too, they're pretty expensive but I have seen and heard many good things so...

3/3/2023 1:16pm Tell me what you think! Or, is this a case where it's only a piece of the puzzle and hard to describe this part exactly?

3/3/2023 12:59pm Okay, thank you. I was thinking this but wasn't sure. It never mitigated after about 5 hours and honestly I'm pretty sure it just all came back out the bleed screws eventually lol. I really like the action of the forks but once they start getting to the bottom of the stroke they tend to keep going unfortunately. I think...

3/3/2023 12:43pm Lol yes, I know. I'm going to go +25 when I refill with oil but I did have a hard time adding oil through the bleed screw before. It just spit it back out. Any idea why? Aside from that, are you saying that the perches are totally useless or ineffective or just not a good first step?

3/3/2023 12:21pm Hello. I think we all probably can get excited for "bolt on performance" but when it comes to suspension I have the idea that this isn't exactly how forks work.. I was wondering what the experience is with parts like those in the picture. I am going to be putting a few dollars into a YZ250 2 stroke I have...
