Jack hammer varg forks

[Osika]

I have about 5 hours on it...love it but I have a half mile track ..no big jumps..but lots of choppy areas and rocky parts. Riding fast on those areas is harsh. I tried clickers all the way out but I think that is maybe worse than 18/15
( top/bottom) I had.
Will they soften up more or re-valve in order?
Tires 14/13.5 psi front/ rear.

Thanks!
Tom

Jbi revalve? Can a dealer do it or need to send out? Ty!

I havnt revalved mine
and i am not in the USA
main problem is it struggles under its own weight
im sure jbi can help you
not sure what your dealers like
bikes jet fast stock if you can afford the time out for arm pump surgery
i run a harder spring rate but i usually do for my weight im 64
like to run at stock for 85kg rider usual basic factory setup for most bikes
it looks smooth in there vids and on other bikes wearing there stickers
answer for chop is keep it wide open
there is posts on suspension here but in the end band aids
but suspension work is expensive
I live in au so our dollars worth shit when it comes to any mods
i think they said jbi where coming out with a kit might be available fitted through your dealer
my dealer races one i think it has racetech in it

I'm going to send to JBI in CA, hear they are experts at doing varg forks.

Should be the GO

Square edges are brutal, I can even feel how shit they are riding the street hitting pot holes. I have tried

-Springs
-Compression all directions
-Rebound all directions

Fork need a revalve along with shock

I just drained 10 CCs of oil out of each fork leg. I'm going to try and ride it in the next couple of days. I'll report back. I mean damn, these are the best KYB forks supposedly set up for off road. They should be compliant right out of the box.

The best suspension on a bike that is way too heavy for it..

I drained 10 CCs of oil out of each fork leg and rode it. MUCH better. Then I drained another 5 CCs (so 15 total) and rode it today on single track, sand whoops, rocks, sand wash, ledgey uphill rock trail/wash and some huge rocky climbs. It was VERY good. Very happy with the forks. Shock is a bit stiff, but I haven't tinkered with the settings all that much. Try draining some oil out before spending a bunch of money on a revalve.

Sounds good. But also there is a LOT of testing and work by places like JBI or Enzo to get forks and shocks to perform optimally .

JBI is on V4-5-6? They keep on working on it. A lot of tuners had a big learning curve. The difference between a Stark is like the difference between a 2t and a 4t. Not too much discussion on the shock. I took 100cc out of each fork and finally getting better and using all the travel, back off the clickers also, but still harsh enough to make my throttle hand go to sleep. In the planning stages for a major overhaul, Dal Saggio is what I'd like to do, but it won't be cheap.
Also temtped to check Lainer for a full forks kit rebuild, mixed with the Dal Saggio XR, or the MX Tech Lucky's for less expensive solutions.

I'm getting forks done by JBI they also have been working on shocks quite a bit..will send that later.

It will be interesting to see how it works for you. My only problem with JBI is he is very secretive about what he's doing. Other than a spring perch, he doesn't really have any proprietary parts. For some reason, I just don't think shim shuffling is the answer, but it should be the cheapest solution if it works. IMO CC forks have an inherent problem with the first 20% being plush due to stiction and the force required to begin movement, that is the part I'm curious to see what they can do, that initial crust which causes the hammering.
