[QUOTE="DaJudge, post: 1271154, member: 17019"] Thanks MCRIDER07. I was hoping you might show up. It looks like us Gen3 A guys are stuck with either the full-meal deal (new cartridges) or a simple re-spring for rider weight and new oil. Did either shop say anything about the stock fork valving on the Gen3 or what oil brand/weight they preferred? As far as you know, are the linear springs for the Gen3 forks the same as Gen2 or different? Any suggestions about seals/bushings for these forks? What's the best way to figure out what length spacers I'll want to use with the heavier (probably 1.0kg) springs? I'm coming up on 3 years old and 12K miles. I figure I'm due for a fork oil change anyway since I don't believe that the original owner had the forks serviced. Last time I serviced/re-sprung forks myself was several years back on an '06 YZ450F dirt bike (which was dual cartridge), but hopefully it will come back to me. Sounds like a good project for over the holidays if I can get the parts needed. [/QUOTE]
