Fork Height

I am not real happy with the front end feel on my bike in tighter single track stuff. Front seems really busy and wont hold a line and seems to deflect off everything. Almost like I am getting to much traction and the front tire is just skimming the terrain. I have set the sag to 100mm and now looking at the fork height. The forks are currently set to the second line from the top. I think I need to lower the forks in the triple clamp to gain stability correct? Share any experience you have with raising or lowering forks on the 08/09 bikes.

Pushing the forks back down in clamps will gain some high speed stability and slow the steering response a little.

Playing with the compression/dampening clicks a bit more can help..........just a guess, but assuming air pressure isn't too high in tire and/or building up in forks, might be too much rebound (not enough dampening) for the forks causing front end to push out.......try turning in a couple more clicks at a time on rebound and see how it feels

Didn't find what I was looking for, but should be able do an internet search on suspension set-up and find a couple places that list problems/fixes.

Real fix may be a revalve and verifying proper springs for you and your conditions.

forks and shock

all i can say is LT RACING !

Called Les he was very helpful. I will prob send him my forks when the funding is available.

The dealer set my forks where they are even with the top of the op triple clamp and it handles great. We also put 5w fork oil in it before I brought it home. I dont know if it was because of my weight or not (200lbs) but it handles better than any bike Ive ever had.

My 2010 TC250 had a similar "light" feel on fast uphills. I lowered the fork tubes to 6mm above top clamp (from 12mm) as suggested in a Motocross Action test and just got back from riding Zaca Station MX a FAST outdoor national type track with long fast uphills and downhills and it felt awesome.
