393: Fork Off - Again

Well, it's time to fork off once more.
Take the forks off the WR-250FP and bring them to Tom the suspension guy at Nasin Machine, that is.
Gee.
Seems I did this just a couple of days ago.

I spoke with Tom yesterday (Tuesday) about how the work done has changed how they feel, and Tom took that info and told me to get the forks back to him today so he can perform another valving change in time for the weekend.

He mentioned he wants to modify the base valve shim stack (little flat washer-looking thingies that control damping oil flow by bending on demand and uncovering a valve hole or port when the fork hits a bump) for a softer feel over sharp bumps.
He also said that he has just discovered that he should enlarge the base valve port size in order to flow more oil, period.
Hmmmm.
Stay tuned for the shakedown ride coming up this weekend.
