Fork Springs
The fork springs in CR's are about right for
riders weighting between 150 and 160 lbs (less
riding gear). So if you're a heavier rider, you
have to go up on the oil level or get a stiffer
spring. Do not use less oil than the minimum
specified for each spring or there will be a loss of
rebound damping control near full extension.
If the fork is too hard on big bumps, turn the
damping adjuster counterclockwise one-click and
lower the oil level in increments of 0.2 in (5 mm)
in both fork legs until the desired performance is
obtained. Do not, however, lower the oil level
below the minimum oil level.
Minimum oil level: (CR85R)
Standard Spring:
4.2 in (106 mm)
Softer Spring:
4.1 in (104 mm)
Stiffer Spring:
4.1 in (104 mm)
Minimum oil level: (CR85RB)
Standard Spring:
4.2 in (106 mm)
Softer Spring:
3.9 in (100 mm)
Stiffer Spring:
4.3 in (110 mm)
When adjusting oil levels, bear in mind that the
air in the fork will increase in pressure while
riding; therefore, the higher the oil level, the
higher the eventual pressure of any air in the
fork.
