[QUOTE="redneckj, post: 1318869, member: 29224"] Post your rebound and compression settings that you have now. Please post your shock setting and your fork settings too. You will need to know how many "clicks out" from "full in" that your suspension is set up now. After that there are plenty of people on here that will help you dial in your new suspension. Here is my set up: 1.0 springs in the forks 2 1/2 lines showing on the preload Motul 7.5 weight oil rebound 7 clicks out compression 15 clicks out Penske 850lb spring Sag set for rider weight and loaded bike rebound 6 clicks out compression 10 clicks out Also, there is a ride height adjustment for the Penske. I have some additional ride height dialed into the shock helping the bike turn in. I changed from the oil that GP used in my forks to the Motul 7.5 weight. The oil that they used really got thin after the fork oil got up to operating temperature. The thin oil made me have to dial in even more rebound dampening to stop the forks from having a "pogo" effect. By simply changing the oil to the Motul 7.5 weight, that problem went away. The valving is consistent throughout the operating temperature of the fork oil. [/QUOTE]
