I was hoping someone would get a kick out of that...
ya know I was thinking on my last ride, my 0.52's actually hold me up for regular riding just fine. (but now that I say that I think about some corners and stuff where I thought the forks didn't hold me up...) Anyways, I think all the re-valving I did to make them more plush for trail stuff is potentially the problem. It's just blowing through the stroke with ease.
I just picked up a stock 2007 CRF450...with a CR500 motor in it. This will be my snowbike in the next couple weeks if all the stars align correctly. It has stock suspension on it and so I'm thinking this is a perfect opportunity to try the stock valving with my heavier springs. I'll throw them in and see if it really is the valving or if I simply need to go heavier on the springs. It's gonna be fun!
In my latest video with lots of jumping I am bottoming out quite a bit, and I wouldn't say these jumps are huge by any means, but that's the limit of my forks. I'd like to go bigger but I either need a whole lot more powder to land in or heavier springs.
