"Hi, I would like to upgrade the front suspension on my zrx and understand that the cartridges used in 04 and later models are sealed on the compression valve, making it difficult to upgrade.

I used the bike mainly for sports riding/touring and a few ride days.

The bike seems to wallow a bit in fast corners and the adjustment range is poor.

I currently have the compression damping backed right out and the rebound 1 click from max. This makes a difference from the standard settings but still not great. Seems to be too much compression and not enough rebound?

I have read about your work Ken's (AMCN) ZRX and was surprised to hear the forks were revalved, no other suspension shops have said they can be done?

Any advice and upgrade options you would recommend for this bike?

thanks,
James"

We individualise our settings for the best result but for ride day or race bike performance, the standard pistons need to be changed. Check our web site (www.promecha.com.au) for fork and shock piston kits & setups that will suit any application

Regarding you settings on your ZRX, you have gone past the usable range for these adjusters, this is a sure sign that the setup isn't working for you.

The "others" you mentioned would need to have a solid engineering background and a workshop with the right equipment, then they wouldn't say "can't be done"
