[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 371440, member: 22658"] I finally got the revalve kit installed. As others have said - the instructions are fantastic - easy to follow. Doing the work was quite easy - nothing that difficult at all. i was somewhat leery of it as i have never gone this far into a set of forks before - but having the guidance of these instructions made it a peice of cake - i would not hesitate in the future to do it again. I just did a very short ride - to short to provide a fair assessment actually...but my preliminary impression is good. I did expect a more of a "wow" feeling of cush or something in the very start of the stroke ...and at the 1/3 to mid stroke range it actually feels a tiny bit firmer... BUT>....not harsh at all. I rode over several logs - seemed to deal with them quite well. I do need to mess with the clickers a bit to get a better feel for things. I started with the setting they recommend in the kit - my guess is I need to back off rebound about 2 clicks (think i had some packing going on) and i might even back off the compression a click or two just to see how it feels. I went with stack 1, used ATF at 110mm (measured as per the instructions). My sag is at about 3.75 inches on shock, dunno on fork. I set the forks up to the second groove on the top with the hope of helping cornering manners a bit. I wonder what difference i might notice if i went with the 5 weight oil rather than ATF (which i understand is about a 7.5 weight). Hmmm gonna haveta play around a bit! I also did drill out the compression holes as suggested. I will be doing some real riding this weekend (Magoo...see ya at the Loose Moose!) where i will find ample rocks, roots and logs and report back how the forks worked out! [/QUOTE]
