compression and rebound, 100% is 0 clicks out, 0% is how many clicks out in game? 16? Also, how does oil level translate into oil height? I.D. of the fork tube?
going off these mxa recommended settings:
For hardcore racing, these are MXA’s recommended 2011 Honda CRF250 fork settings (when changed, stock settings are in parentheses):
Spring rate: 0.46 kg/mm (0.45 kg/mm)
Oil quantity: 342cc
Compression: 8 clicks out (13 clicks out)
Rebound: 8 clicks out
HPSD: 4 clicks out (7 clicks out)
Fork leg height: Flush with top clamp
Notes: The 48mm Showa forks come with a separate aluminum screw on top of the fork legs. Don’t use it to bleed air out of the forks! It is only to be unscrewed when the forks are being serviced. Use the brass screw to bleed air out of the fork legs. We believe that any rider over 165 pounds would benefit from stiffer fork springs.
A: Here is what the MXA wrecking crew ran in its 2011 CRF250 (when changed, stock settings are in parentheses):
Spring rate: 5.3 kg/mm
Race sag: 105mm
Hi-compression: 1-1/16 turns out
Lo-compression: 7 clicks out
Rebound: 10 clicks out (11 clicks out)
Notes: The shock is very sensitive to high-speed compression. Heavier riders should go in 1/4 turn on high-speed compression and set the sag at 100mm, but only if stiffer fork springs have been installed.
