I was laying in bed last night with a Christmas level of red wine on board thinking about pfp adjustment and why gasgas valving has no float on the mid valve. I think the pfp is a great tuning kit for getting a wide range of stock settings working. I have been avoiding preload on this bike and have changed my thoughts, I have .48 springs, I had been running zero pfp, 2 mm preload and clickers c10 r 11, I had never gone the other way. I think no float means the stack s operational at anything more than zero movement and the pfp pretty well determines how divey you want the bike. I wound in 2 pfp and went in to 9r and went out to 18c and I had the same amount of brake dive and was using a lot more stroke on square edges and the bike is a lot less spikey, I went in to 2.5 and the dive reduced, bit more follow the ground feel but not obtrusive and the same lush highspeed feel, this all just around my 2.5 acre block and dirt roads so I would need a days ride to really fiddle and verify but I think it proves that the pfp is better than just a spring preload as you maintain the valving characteristics. Maybe gg or zoke no what they are doing with that mv.
