Dave Moss talks about setting suspension very differently first session to lunchtime, as heat impacts the oil and stress alongside getting quicker as the day goes on. Same with tyres: stressed suspicion means different tyre affect. It’s a black art, one I know very little about, other than 2 clicks of rebound will solve everything
Does the gas in these forks act towards the springing or like rear shocks is it there to reduce aeration of the oil?
Yep. They look nice. I can’t really tell if they are better than non-gas types as I certainly don’t ride to a level where the perceived benefits would come into play. I have K-Tech internals on my 749R and, don’t tell anybody, but I reckon they are nicer to ride. Really plush and great on track. Both sets of forks were on the bikes when I got them so I’m not complaining. I would never go and buy a set of D16RR forks if they weren’t already on it. The mudguard brackets are crap...
Results of what sorry, the dynos or the oil weight? I can PM you the dyno charts if you like? I'm a Professional Bullshiter by trade. The informative links posted previously in this thread by @Wayne58 and @funkatronic show that the gas controls the flow of the damping oil, I guess you could say the gas provides controllable two-way damping to the damping circuit.
Sounds like you were testing a range of different shocks. I was those results I meant. Sounds like you do a similar job to me.
Yes, several of exactly the same type/model of damper and then compared those results to some other models of dampers, then tested a bunch of different springs and spring materials, independently of the dampers to ensure a 'clean' test. I'll send you a few charts.
