Fork and suspension tuning - valving?

Post by DirtBoy12 »

Been upgrading the suspension on my GS800 and researching the subject - does anyone know a good suspension tuner in Perth? as considering getting some valving done on some fork inserts that are on their way to WA :P

Some useful links & quotes follow:

"Does this mean any cartridge fork is better than any damping-rod fork? No, that depends on the valving and setup, including spring rate and oil level. Being a savvy suspension turner requires a knowledge of advanced engineering theory, the experience of extensive testing and art. something to remember is, the best you've ridden is the best you know"
