Thanks Jeff..... done tons of Showa, KYB, and Kayaba stuff, but getting ready to revalve my 990 and delve into the WP world. I'll order up the cap tool here next week.
How often do you find different thickness of spacer under the cap? I just changed my springs and the right leg had a much thicker spacer than the left. After measuring the springs one is shorter than the other, these were stock springs from 2016 500 exc. I didn't measure the replacement springs I got from Slavens Racing, should they be the same length or can they vary a minor amount, up to 8mm or so? Manual says length of spring and spacers should be 510mm so I guess I should go for that length.
If I have the older style open chamber without the 4 pins (04 exc 250) is the cap removed by the large nut on top? Is the rest of the spring swap the same?
@@slaverace1 thank you ill let Mark at mvr take care of my valving and everything when I change to the right weight springs. Thank you Please keep those videos coming. I have learned so much about. KTMs by watching your videos

2017 690 Enduro, don’t have holes on top of my fork caps.
Do these rules apply to those forks as well?
Sorry, read question below, already answered. Springs I ordered from you already arrived. Thanks for video.
Can you recommend a valve stack to help make the older '01 WP OC 43mm forks more plush?
Sorry, I retired from suspension several years ago.

Yes & yes
Excellent, thank you! I'll be ordering springs from you soon.
If you change the springs, do you need to RE-Valve?!?!?!?! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My rebound adjuster keeps spinning clockwise. I think that I don't have enough threads on top. Thank you.
How do you fix this situation ?
Do I need to revalve my forks when putting a heavier spring in them or will the heavier springs be ok with what's in there already?

The stock valving is mediocre and it will remain mediocre with stiffer springs.
