CRF 450 Stiff Forks

[EXC-Rider]

ok ive had this problems for since i started racing again this year (about 10 weeks ago) and i notice my forks are real stiff they dont seem to squash down as mush as they used to.

ive tried adjusting the forks with the screws top and bottom i made them as soft as they can go ant still the same

any help ?

You've probably done this already but have you bled the air from them? I don't know what forks the CRF has but on my Gas Gas there's a air bleed screw on the top of the forks as air builds up over time making the forks harder.

thanks that might have done it i un screwed it and i could hear lots of air coming out , but hard to tell if its really done the job until i get back on the track
