[QUOTE="Yoken, post: 986382, member: 25312"] Marcus, You're right, 0.25mm float is not too large. I went back to my notes and the float on my old KTM was around 1.25mm... (I should've read my notes before posting. Sorry). However, I've see floats of about 0.1 to 0.15mm working fairly well with MV shim stacks like 20.1 - 19.1 - 18.1 - 16.1 - 14.1 - 12.1 - 10.1. My problem is that I don't know what base valve was associated with it. I'll have to make my own experience. How would you compare the above stack versus the stock 6x20.1 - 4x17.1 ? Stiffer or softer ? KTM-Lew, I'll try to get you a pic of the MV as soon as I figure out how to link it to this site. Russ17 made a good description though. For info, the spring is ID13.5xOD14.5mm. It sits in the groove and pushes on the 17.1. My goal is to get : - more plushness in braking bumps, - a bit more fork dive at the entrance of a corner (spring rate? preload? bleed circuit valving?), - while maintaining stock bottoming resistance (getting a bit more would even be better) ...am going to think about it a bit more before I start messing things up.
