I am looking to soften the compression damping on my forks, it appears that the left fork has all the compression damping and the right fork all the rebound damping.
I recently took the left fork apart expecting to find the usual compression valve at the bottom of the cartridge but there was only a one way valve...it would let oil into the cartridge but not out. On compression, the oil is forced up the cartridge rod to the top of the fork to where the stepper motors are.
The options appear to be
A put thinner oil in the compression fork
B increase the air gap...to soften the spring
C replace the one way valve with a "normal" compression valve
D unscrew the stepper motors and change the valving there
Has anyone ever unscrewed the stepper motors from the fork caps ?
Any info greatly appreciated
