Just wondering if anyone out there has played around with their Crossover rings or anything else to change the Ride in their Talon R and if anything helped. As most people know the Talon R (not sure about the X) ride extremely harsh on slower speed chatter and bumps and with out spending a bunch more money on different Tender Springs or even a whole ew set of Springs, can anything be done?

I backed my rears off just shy of the tender springs binding (I think it was about 25 turns if I remember correctly). Softened it up quite a bit. I also did the fronts but not quite as much (don't remember the number of turns).

Just be aware that it will bottom out a little easier if you do it because the stiffer bottom springs kick in at a lower suspension level so do 10 turns at a time until you get what you want without coil binding.

Raising the crossovers helps a lot. Doing Shock therapy springs and revalving amazing.
