[QUOTE="Lutz, post: 764232, member: 25116"] [b]Ride Review[/b] After getting everything bolted together, I had a chance to do a little riding. As of right now, the results are mostly good, though I haven't actually done any real trailriding yet - mostly just jumping and a few small whoops. As I was rolling the bike out of the shop, I noticed there is definitely A LOT more stiction in the KX forks than the KDX forks. When everything was first assembled, I could push the front end down two or three inches and it would stay there until I pulled up on the bars. This may be because the forks need a rebuild, or because the forks had been lying horizontally for who knows how long, or because there may have been some misalignment somewhere - I'll figure it all out somewhere down the road. Anyway, I didn't notice the stiction after I started riding. Off any jump, big or small, the improvement was amazing. The KDX forks used to blow through the travel extremely fast, then rebound so fast that the front end would almost jump off the ground. The KX forks on the other hand just soak up the landing. The suspension has never felt so good on my bike. My friend who was watching me said he'd never seen the bike work like that, and that the front and rear looked like they were acting as one shock. And this is without ever even turning the clickers. Next time I go home for the weekend, I'll do more riding and have more of a report on how it works on the trails in real riding conditions, but for now, I am totally satisfied with the swap. [/QUOTE]
