    That is John Curea's hand in that pic taken at his shop in PA Fall 2007. That is actually a ktm in the pic cut he said my zooks were set up the same.

    My bike is a 2006 TE250 which I believe are single chamber design, it sounds like you may have the dual chamber?

    What I know for sure is that after he re-did the suspension I "made a really bad riding error" which should have put me in the hospital (again) but the forks soaked everything right up... I'm sure the other shops do good work too.

    Nah, I have a standard cartridge just like you. I’m sure John’s very good. I’m just a hack.

    With the really small base valve ports the MV design may be more important. RT converts MV’s to check plates in most of their kits, but they run much bigger base ports.

    The check on the base is mainly for directional flow control, allowing the cartridge to refill on the rebound stroke. The valve in your picture really does the rebound work.

    So, in a nutshell, the static valve takes care of compression, free flowing on rebound, and the dynamic valve does rebound, allowing free flow on compression.

    Personally, I tend to like converting MV’s to checks on woods forks. I’ll just have to play around with them to see what I like.

    att... all there has been some development done with husky forks it is a problem with leaking fork seals when the forks are run all the way down in the triples giving more flex on the sliding fork tubes witch creates a gap an then leaks but this is only one of the problems with forks ps... still have original seals and done 3,000km
