I have a 97 yz 250 with KYB forks. I just had the seals replaced at a local bike shop. The forks are now bottoming out on a double that I never used to bottom out on before. What can I do to stiffen the shcoks to prevent hard landings.

First make sure your compression adj. is not too far out. If your not sure set it in the middle of it's range for starters. If it's ok, then you need to raise your oil level untill the hard bottoming stops. The shop that installed your fork seals may have set your forks with too low of an oil level.

Thanks steve125 I'll give that a try.

Steve,
Go ahead and just set them at 90mm.
