Does anyone have seat time that can compare the '17 & '18 shocks? I picked up a '17 TC125 and have been enjoying the bike quite a bit but I'm getting kicked pretty badly on acceleration chop. Braking bumps don't seem to be an issue and it jumps/corners well, just the acceleration bumps getting me. Have tried different clicker settings. Still running the stock spring which is borderline for my weight (165lbs w/o gear) so not sure if that's my issue or if it's in the valving? I have ordered all the shims to set it to '18 specs. Any ideas welcome

Open up the high speed compression 1/2 turn and speed up the rebound 4 clicks out and see how it feels.

I'm running my hsc at 2 1/2 turns, tried opening up my rebound but the rear end seemed to get loose. It almost feels like the rear is squatting too low when accelerating and then in a more aggressive part of the stroke?

What is your sag set at?

Race is 105, don't remember static off the top of my head though. I have a heavier spring coming this week since I am borderline (static sag is a little higher than spec) and it matches up with the race tech spring calculator at 42 N/mm compare to the stock 39N/mm. Going to try the spring for a few rides before doing anything with the valving to see what difference it makes
