35mm Betor forks
« on: February 19, 2012, 11:26:56 am »
have done the Sudman suggestions on my forks-on BSA b44.with xtra 20wt oil.  Any one run stronger springs or PD valves or both? Back end of bike works well front not right yet.

Go to 30wt Bazza makes a big differents it was like night and day on my bike. Gavin gave it the big thumbs at the naki track for the way they worked.

I Have the 290 valves and original progressive wound fork spring weight in my cooper/ yamaha they work ok with 1o weight but i did not drill the holes same as per the pd sheet i took a punjt and copied the drill hole layout in a VMX a few issues ago that showed a works CZ fork tube and a standard one  .seem to work well ,very progressive and do not bottom out , i am over 100kg geared up
