[QUOTE="Huck Fonda, post: 322356, member: 9687"] That's as good a tip a any. The lesser amount of air will compress to a point of resistance more quickly and act as a spring helper, but you won't get the full effect until very late in the suspension travel. You certianly don't want to load your spring enough to compensate for this, and no, more oil isn't necessarily always better, but it can help. Another thing you might consider is reducing the rate of suspension compression by taking better advantage of your rear brake. Using the rear will help slow the bike down with much less dive. It doesn't give a ton of braking force, but it can help keep the bike's pitch attitude flatter for longer on the approach to the corner. Trouble with this "traditional" fork set up is that the weight transfer on aggressive front braking has nowhere else to go. [/QUOTE]
