I installed it poorly, that’s why. There's a small bushing that should press against the valve and keep the check valve shim free, but it was actually pushing against the inner rim of the shim and locking /torting it, screwing up the check valve and thus causing ZERO rebound dampening. Either...

Check valve was torsioned and stuck open. On rebound valve. the clunking was the top-out spring topping out hard and fast.

If my cartridge is fucked I'll probably get the Ohlin's cartridge but I didn't think it was necessary from the beginning

Yep bud I understood that it was a top out spring, thanks -- it was still helpful information.

Interesting. Is this spring inside of the cartridge, then? I didn't see it in the main chamber like I did on my bike that has a dampener rod.

I also thought it sounded weird, but I explained in detail what I wanted and, seeing as this guy has great reviews all over this forum, I decided to trust him. Regardless, my main concern right now is wheether or not my fork is fucked. I could always change to another spring.

sorry, yes, it's 0.85 kg/mm

It's not bottoming out. It happens on extension.

Could it be that the yamaha tech, as we rushed a little at the end, got the sequence wrong with regards to the piston bearing, spacer, washer etc?

I agree but Nick at Stoltech insisted that an 85Nm spring woud be good for my weight (220lb) and that I could simply increase oil height if I was struggling with bottoming out. I told him after installation that I was barely reaching spec sag even at max preload, but he insisted that his...

Agreed, will open it tomorrow. God damnit.

Thanks guys. I just cannot fathom that it would tear apart within 30-60 minutes of gentle riding; we used red locktite and it seemed to brace the threads just fine when torqueing it. As far as I could see, there was sufficient amount of remaining thread for it to bite on to. But, again what...

Hi guys So I went ahead and bought the stoltech revalve package and linear spring install. It didn't come with instructions, but I went ahead and got this done at the local yamaha shop. We disassembled the inner chambers and loosened the nuts. As the nuts came off, a part of the peening broke...

Web bike japan it is, it seems. Thanks a lot guys

Dear friends, Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search before asking but I was only able to find threads about benefits and specific part numbers. I keep reading that this is a "300-400 bucks upgrade", but as far as I can see the basket alone costs almost 700 bucks on Stadium Yamaha...
