08 zx10 forks ??

Post by sillywilly »

How u all going ? My 08 zx10 forks with ssk ktech piston kit and sprung for my weight with 33mm of sag rebound 7 out from full hard.compression 12 out from full hard .I put a cable tie around the fork tube and its pushing down to about 25mm from the bottom of the fork tube .road riding.Question is are my springs to soft? this was achieved not even braking overly hard .The forks can be compressed easily just bye pushing down hard on the bars feels a bit soft to me. cheers and thanks for everyones time. :kuda:

Soft isn't bad on the road.
I'm 95kg and still running the stock fork springs but revalve forks.
Only time I bottomed out propper was downhill over corrugations into 20km/h corners.
