[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 187591, member: 1650"] the xr's from time to time had the valves. my xr200 does. bruce maybe right about it making it too stiff for you. usually i decide that, maybe you can too. most of the air you get is simply air that warmed up. the smaller volume forks like yours and the stockers on my 200 can get affected and need then bled after several minutes of hard riding. BBR does get some pretty impressive prices. Not sure what all you were looking for, but when the xr200 i have came along my biggest complaint with it (and my xr250's too) was that not only were they sprung too light for me, they had forks that flexed more than I had become used to. Sometimes it is nice because it is gentler on your wrists on a long ride. The xrs have a steep enough steering head that they will turn well and can be lots of fun, but if you stretch them out to get some travel out of them they are more flexy yet. i have some of the longer travel ones sent on the xr200 and for someone in the 160 lb range they flex way too much. in the past we have put ones off of an xl600 etc onto the 200 and it made a pretty big difference, but didnt have the damping action that the cartridge forks have. So since I had put 43's on my 250 and had a set of 41mm cartridges to donate to the 200 it was an easy pic. yours of course has the brake i wanted all along. They tell me yours will take the same xr250 aluminum swingarm that mine will get too. then a disk back there just "happens". Kind of a never ending cycle. [/QUOTE]
