TE/TC 4CS Issues

I had a 2000 TE610 with 45mm Zokes and stock they were crazy soft yet somehow harsh. Had RG3 valve and spring them for me and they were much better but still harsh compared to the KYB Japanese bikes at the time (YZ426/KX500) and my old '95 Husky with Showas. I rode my buddies '01 TE570 and the forks seemed similar to my '00. The 45's on the '08 TE610 are pretty good stock though, so it seems they got better.

MY '14 Berg 300 still needs the 4CS' sorted but they seem a better starting point than my old '00 Zokes. Stiffer springs helped mine with the full compression deflection they seem to have by keeping higher in the stroke, but sharp edge g-outs still get sketchy. They'll probably find their way to Zip Ty's.

put about 120km on the forks with the latest mods today (stock parts) with some internal changes, man they are so much better, I didn't mind them originally but high speed hits shook my bones, they are plush now, ride really high in the stroke and resist bottoming good.
I had a crf with revolved showa's previously which was great for woods, I would rate the 4CS as good if not better than these now.

front end traction is on another level now, only downside if both legs now only have comp adjustment on the top, rebound is fixed

so now you have compression on the top and rebound on the bottom ? is that the fix with these forks ?

Some folks sent their forks to suspension shops and they added base valves basically turning the forks into open chamber style but Bowser is commenting on his personal reconfiguration method which uses existing parts assembled differently causing the adjusters on the top to affect compression only. He doesn't have base valves with that setup. Clear as mud right?

thats right Reveille, both top adjusters are comp now and have no adjustment on the bottom for rebound or anything else.
I did try the same stacks without the adjuster swap so it was same as stock and it didn't feel as good, swap the rebound check valve around and it made them better.
rebound stack is slightly different (stiffer) with a bleed shim, stays up really high in the stroke now, blue oring is installed still.
What I have might not suit everyone but I was looking for an alternative than spending big bucks with a tuner and are presently surprised with what I ended up with

Amen

When I read his post, I thought he must ride only one type of terrain, to have no rebound adjustment....

Once I set mine I don't move it... I ride everything every ride....

Same here once some one who is smarter then me sets up my suspention I install it and ride. Never have I had to touch it. When you race the Nationals we go everywhere and still no adjustment needed .

don't get me wrong I wish I still had the option to adjust rebound but at the moment they are working well for the riding i'm doing.
many guys don't even adjust sag let alone play with the clicker voodoo magic

Once it's set it don't change day to day

Most people are not very good at making changes... a lot of people make changes thinking they are doing something good and they would ride just as fast or good leaving it the same....

I'll just be happy to get the forks back. They've had the forks longer than I've been able to ride the bike. I'm forced to ride my wife's 200xc Gasser for tomorrow's ride. Already took the stupid rekluse out of it so I can ride it. I'm starting to regret my decision to get rid of the 2012.
:I obviously need a tissue:

who has the forks and what are the issues?

When a person gets old like me, being crafty about setup is the great equalizer on the trail. I like it when my riding companions are bouncing all over the place...LOL....and yes I want my rebound adjustment too!

I agree. Some guys like to tinker though. I prefer to change my riding style slightly to use the same set up, for all riding.
