    70deg OC Fork Shim Consensus?

    Are there any quick wins with the stock valve? If Anyone can point me to a good shim thread for any bike with the WP 48mm OC forks I would appreciate it. Or, if there are any "standard" shim stacks to try, please let me know. I understand rider weight and such makes a difference - just...

    Strange problem with one shim on a 2010 FE450

    I opened the valve cover to check the clearance on my 2010 FE 450 (125 hours). I found too much play on the intake side, with one of the valve that had more than 0.2mm. I removed the rocker arm and realized it was damaged, the shim as well had some marks and the rocker arm axis. Nothing really...

    09 shock shim stacks???

    Hey all, I am going to be servicing my shock on my 09 450. Do any of you have any shim stacks you would like to share that are good for a slow A rider running enduros?

    08 FE450 shim stack

    I bought my bike used and someone re-valved the forks. I feel they are way too harsh for the type of riding I do and was wondering if someone could tell me what the stock stack looks like so I can start over. The bike is an 08 FE 450. If someone has a good stack for a rider that weighs 225#...
