    And for reference I am running mine the equivalent of one line higher in the clamp. All three lines showing plus a half way to a 4th line (which is not there). So 3.5 lines. I know this is over the limit but man it sticks like glue in the tight stuff and I notice no head shake in faster whoops. I did not do any 4-6 gear stuff though and i am running a stabilizer.

    FWIW:

    I've run my '07 TC (diff fork?):

    Cap/parting line on top of tube fush w/ top of clamp: really loagy.

    First groove at top of clamp: heard this is normal setting- and it works ok.

    Second groove at top of clamp: Turns well and is a good trade off between handling and stability. Watch it though, Tank-slappers suck.

    Inbetween first and second groove is fine for me under most condtitions. If it's gonna be uber tight I'll run it on the second groove. Note the word GROOVE.

    Always re-check yer race sag too!

    Ok, It appears I have " Grooves/Lines" on my Forks..Ye ha. So what do they do..Up verses down? Am i correct in deducing that lowering Speeds up response to input? My bike "works fairly well in most instances as is, after a few "fiddles" with the clickers. Occasionally i adjust them , depending on what strata we go to ride on. generally my rebound is "off" 2 and Comp. is "On" 2..from factory. I've backed out the rear preload and believe the rear gas setup does nothing much noticable?..Thanks

    No problem bro :thumbsup:

    Amazing the difference suspension clickers, sag and fork height can make on a bike. Max performance depends on it and learning to adjust them for different ride areas can make all the difference.
