    I have a 2010 crf with race tech suspension springs and gold valves , I feel the suspension is great but i can not get the bike to turn with out knifing. Would a shock linkage help?

    are you confident the springs are the correct rate for your RIDING weight? how about the rear shock spring rate?

    If your bike suspension is set up right for you're weight then I'd try playing with the clickers.

    try decreasing rebound dampening a couple clicks on forks.

    Also you can try lowering your forks a few mm in the triple clamps to increase rake and slow the cornering.

    When making suspension adjustments, make small adjustments at a time before finding your sweet spot.

    I set my bike this way for stop this issue

    185 lbs - Vet C
    .46 fork spring
    Factory connection rear linkage
    Michelin S12 front tire
    HSSD at the hardest
    108 mm sag

    Last year I let the bike stock and finnaly get some good result with 110 mm of sag, but loose some handling

    I began this season with the linkage and 108 mm sag with a great improvement

    Finally I change the .45 spring for the .46 and now my bike engage the curve so well without any stability lost
