I got the forks back from FC today along with some fresh DP pads for the front stopper. Of course, I followed up with the quick presto-chango V-Force 3 reed cage. I have to put it this way;
If the suspension had not been tuned the bike would most likely scare me! The instantaneous snap of the wheel into the sky was just what I was looking for! The reed/cage is awesome! It feels as though all of the other mods, as few as there are tapped into the new and improved fuel delivery. I turned my airscrew back to 1.5 out since we are having a wonderful start to our summer with one rainstorm after another and the temps. here in the mts. is lurking around 60. The woods are starting to get a little too saturated for even the likes of me.
The forks feel great on the driveway, which is actually a good indication of something good happening in there. What I mean is, that my dirt driveway has some stutters from tractor and excavator tracks and a few scattered rocks ranging in size from that of a golf ball to a baseball. Before the revalve I could feel all of it with a bit of a headshake or deflection... a harshness. Now it is gone! It is all gone. The bike feels planted and steady cuz' those KYB's are sucking it all up. Now I have to wait until a week from Friday to actually ride it cause I'm off with dear wifey and the boys for a camping trip! Hopefully it dries up a little in that time.
These two upgrades have really turned the corner on my bike. $400 well spent!
