I spent all day at a local motocross track with my EC 250. I have revalved forks from the local dealer, who says these settings were used in the Six days bikes. Fork now performs much better, with the rebound at about 6 out it soaks up everything without bouncing out of ruts which was the case with the standard settings with the rebound fully in. Problem is that when I cross some drop offs or I hit whoops, my forks tend to go through all their travel, leave alone on the MX track where they readily bottom out even if with the compression clicker wound in at about 10 from fully in. I have an air gap of 110mm with the standard .42 springs and I am 185 lbs fully dressed. I know it is not set up for MX but when the speed picks up, they readily blow through the stroke, so I would like something better.
A friend gave me ride on his new 09 EC300 Racing with the SACHS 48 forks, and I was really impressed with the stability it offers on the high speed sections and the more planted feel it gives the chassis really railing through corners and long sweepers. Really nice bike.
Also, the gassers which have been raced in Europe the past years use the Mazzorchi 50's used on the MX bikes. So my question is should I get a pair of heavier fork springs or can I get the valving closer to the SACHS forks?
