I want to make my fronts a little stiffer. How can this be done simply and correctly? Like a fool I somehow lost my adjustment tool, probably by throwing it out w/ the box. Any help would be appreciated.

 

It's not clear which kind you have? Mine have a C-clip. You just compress the spring (a spring tool is nice, but you can do it with zip ties if necessary), then move the clip up or down.

 

Honestly i haven't looked at them yet or even ridden them on dirt. Just wanted to check up. Didn't know it was that simple. The spring compression tool is probably what I lost. Thanks.

 

If you don't have a tool, have someone heavy stand on the front bumper. While the springs are compressed, put several big strong zip ties on the springs to keep them compressed--be careful!! This relieves the tension on the adjuster. Move the clip up or down, then cut the zip ties and check you ride height.

 

how much of a difference are your works over the stock shocks? Would you say it was well worth it?

 

I have works fronts and they are deffinatly worth the money...I haven't run elkas or anything else but for 329 on ebay you can't beat them.

 

So far I've only ridden it in the sand. And compared to last year on the stock shocks, it was a huge difference. The ride was smoother overall, track straighter through whoops, and improved cornering tremendously. Anxiously awaiting my new rear shock and a dry motox track.

 

I have works triple rates on my 250r. I had them valved for a 230lb rider. I am now down to about 190. I know works doesnt adjust to exact weight; they adjust have ranges. I am wondering if I am still in the correct range or if I should have them revalved? Thanks.
