Had this same problem on my 16.5 450 FE air forks...I just used an old valve from an inner tube! Happened at Southwick one day....I was pumping them forks like a madman to get the pressure back! Bought cone valves the next day ...have had the cone valves on my 18 250 Sx since new, just for comparison I ran the stock airs last week at my local practice track as I sent my conevalves out for service......instant arm pump........I think my 18 has the same jetting as the 17"s, I"m 1 step leaner on the pilot, stock needle on 3 rd clip, 2 steps richer on the main, 450 In warmer temps I will try 2nd leaner pilot. Fmf fatty & standard silencer, 50/50 race gas & non ethanol @ 50:1...I set my gearing & powervalve same as MXA suggest, bike rips, but a lot more work than a 450!
