Norm Cobb at suspension tech is closer, but Linton at Dirt Action Services knows gasgas better.

Either of them will be able to help with springs and/or revalving. They would be my recommendations.

Not sure if this is an option but our boy is a lightweight & currently on a KTM 65. Husband did research on springs & we purchased new lighter fork springs from the States and had them sent over then had the suspension set up here. Springs were alot cheaper from there than buying KTM one's. Unfortunately they don't do a rear spring for the 65s.

Not sure if you can do that with GG but maybe worth having a look on the net to see if there is anywhere.

I have a 300 gassa, I guess the first question is what are you trying to achieve? are you a fast rider doing jumps etc or are you a slower technical rider. I am a slower rider and prefer technical riding.

I have lightened my fork valves and lighter fork oil so the front steps over tree roots and rocks with out washing out, I also figured out the I paid for 300mm of wheel travel so I might as well use it.

The back is very adjustable, the only thing I have done is adjusted the static sag to my liking and adjusted the compression and rebound to my liking.

Had a 200, now have an 07 300. Shiver forks are harshly damped std. Sent them to Linton & much better. I'm wgtn so its wrap & courier for me too, but no drama.

Got the shock revalved for slightly less high speed compression too.
