    I run zero compression clickers on my '08. Even on huge jumps i cant bottom it out. I weigh 210.

    Just an idea for ya.

    After banging off instead of over the rocks yesterday, I'm ordering new springs front and rear for my 08.

    knary - where'd you order the springs and which rate did you get? I may end up respringing as well. I saw Racetech carries them at .44 and .46. They don't list the 610 but do have lighter springs for all the other smaller TE's with the 45 Zokes.

    I was going to order them today if I can. As to where... that's an excellent question. That's one of the puzzles of the day.

    Call Racetech. They don't list the 610 but they do list all the other Huskys with the 45mm forks. Or maybe it was Factory Connection... Too much time online and you can't remember anything. Hey, try them both.

    After some good talks with Les at LT-Racing I decided that I'm going to send the suspension to him to respring and revalve. It's a few hundred dollars more, but having ridden professionally set up bikes, I do believe it's worth it.

    This is hot. After playing around with the suspension I'm starting to think that a re-valve may not be such a bad idea. Can we get a thread on this?
