Yesterday refilled the forks with silkoline 2.5 to Ravenriders 4.75" , reset to 2 rings preload ,forks same at 23mm through yokes and set off.
First thing to notice is the ride ht is higher but the hits are almost gone, transformation might be an exaggeration but a massive improvement
from last time out . Now felt too much preload not even thinking about the bumps anymore.
Static sag checked same at 25mm so dropped preload to 3rd ring just showing and now static sag at 31mm . I'm really happy with things now
will monitor the fork travel with the reduced air gap over the next thousand miles and see if its possible to raise the forks again as it did feel really nice when they were at 33mm.
