cool thanks man! ill try that. will it make the bike sit higher though? Right when i got on my bike to hit this table top the first time, i scooted forward a little bit and stalled the bike and fell over :D I was off to a bad start

No it won't sit higher. It will just slow down the compression...actually stiffens it.

Right. That screw is attached to a tapered needle that goes into a hole that allows oil flow between the chambers. Screwing it in makes the hole effectively smaller allowing less oil to flow and hence slows down compression. Opening it up allows more oil to flow for the opposite affect.

The rebound screw on the bottom does the same thing, but affects the "rebound" portion of the stroke instead. The compression screw is on the top, rebound on the bottom.

A huge +1 on the Enzo suspension. I had Craig in the MN office valve it properly, (I had already replaced the springs) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! This is starting to be a very serious trail bike. I dragged a heavily mod'd WR250 today and was only a bike length behind which we both account to the taller gearing I'm running. The power is being put to the ground now. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! www.enzoracing.com

That's quite the FIRST jump. I don't think I'll be trying that big of a jump. Looked good though.

The key to not bottoming out your suspension on these bigger table tops is to go faster and land on the downslope! hahahaa

There's one table top in town that's very fun to jump.. Gotta hit it in the middle of 3rd gear to clear it just perfectly.

enzo specializes in kyb, so thats the parts they carry. i just listen to a podcast interviewing the owner, definally taking my stuff to then when i have everything rebuildt at some point.
