well for what I could tell today, the front end never acted like it was going to wash on me, not even in the slick stuff. I tried to set the dampening first then the compression. I found that I was'nt to far off the original settings. I think I hardened the rebound one or two clicks and softened the compression about one click. I tried further on both but found it not as comfortable. So I went back to the original settings I was comfortable at. Bike really supprised me today. Forks worked great on the big wet rocks without any deflection at all. The one time I got stuck on the big rocks was rider error not the bike. I actualy carried almost as much speed today as when I rode when it was dry. I had mucho fun!
So I guess you could say that the shimming is set, as is the rebound and compression. I felt the front end hit one time today and that was on a 2 foot ledge I was launching over at the top of a hill climb. Thats it, and it was'nt a hard feel type hit, just like a glance type hit.
One guy on a KTM 400 was by himself and we talked in the parking area for a few minutes and he was hinting around about riding together. Over the past few months, I've been riding mostly by myself and foudn that I like it better that way. well he took off first and I went out a few minutes later and I ran across him as I started on a down hill. I heard his 4 banger fire up behine me so I went into full race mode. I wanted to see what he had. I finished my loop and looked behine me and he was'nt there.......
I met up with him back in the parking lot and he tried to get me to go back out with him but I did'nt. I just wanted to run my own pace today and not have to worry about someone elses pace. So he rode alittle longer and loaded up and went home. I kept running though, i was having to much fun. The last time I rode in mud, my legs were shot, now with this bike, my arms are shot, legs good.
