I've been using it for a while now, it saves a lot of time. Well worth the money.

I might have to spring for that. I can't get used to the harshness on these yz forks when riding really rough single track, rocks, roots, etc. The stuff I used to ride trials style on my old forks, while they just soaked it up. The yz forks don't bottom out on big hits like the stockers did though. I'm sure it's somewhat of a trade-off, but I need to find a better balance.

while my carb is goin off to Ron, I figured on pulling the base valves and checking out the shim stacks.

If they don't show up try these guys http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.com ... sakiDB.asp
They take a week to get parts from but they have been the cheapest I have found. And if you do call them and they give you a price just ask them if they can do better and they probably will. My last order they knocked another $20 off an $80 order. :grin:

I'm getting the entire inner chamber at dealer cost, so I'm not to worried about it
