Problem is, if they are no on that site still, I will have to search the plethora of removable media I have to find them (since my laptop pooped).

Thanks for the how-to Charlie. I just finished re-assembling my compression valves this morning, and I should be buttoning my forks back up tonight. All down hill now!

Note to those re-building the compression valves. These are loctited into the bottom of the cartridge, and VERY hard to remove without destroying things. The method that worked for me was a combination of pipe clamp, helper with vice grips (DO NOT get carried away) and tapping with an 18mm wrench before trying to loosen. Definitely a butt-pucker, but if you're patient they will come out.

Good deal Speed Demon, wait until its back together, start dialing it in for you and then that massive sense of accomplishment will hit, awesome feeling.

I finished it all up over the weekend. I think I picked the right springs (1kg/mm); 2 lines of preload (6 showing) has the sag at 30mm. Right out of the box it feels really close. It now rides like my partner's 08 with suspension that's actually working. I'll know more how close it is as soon as I can go out and lean on it some.

And Charlie, you are correct sir. Great feeling of accomplishment to diy intead of sending them off.

Great to hear. I have about the same settings on springs, preload and sag... interesting. How much do you weigh? I'm at 165lbs.

I stay about 190. I bet after a few rides to settle the springs I'll need to crank in another line of preload.

good stuff.

Very good instructions, I will be replacing the oil in my forks soon, so this is a very timely how too!

Nice as hell, but im not sure if im going to mess with it. I know where im going to send them to though!

i'll take my engine apart before attempting to do fork work.

Really 2008?? You guys must be bored.
