The forks are easy enough without the correct tools, the shock is not.
You betcha that's right. Doug

I think it's funny that a lot of my buddies will get there suspension "DONE" by RG3 or RACE TECH or Factory Connection and they think it's DONE! THat's just the beginning. I have spent a lot of time testing different suspension settings, compression and rebound settings. There are some great articles online about suspension set ups. I change setting at every track I ride and take notes on conditions and performance. If I can make one suggestion, play with your clickers! Read the articles, and you will find that if you can't afford a revalve at this time, you can do a lot with just the correct spring rates and clicker settings.
Also after riding a semi-supercross track I was noticing that my forks were botteming and actually pushing up through the triple clamps, added 10cc of oil to each fork and a HUGE difference.
So for what it's worth, get the springs right, play with oil levels, I am running 385cc as opposed to a stock setting of 375cc and also keep track of clicker settings and track conditions. I shouldn't matter how good a rider you are, getting your suspension set just right (EACH TIME YOU RIDE) will improve your riding and confidence 100%.
