my super T rebound is SUPER slow and the rebound know is set as fast as it can go and it is way to slow, I like the compression so i would rather not change the spring how can i make the rebound faster?

did you adjust the internal side as well as the external?? '04 had one side with external and one internal, sounds like you should look into that

Use lower weight oil. You can also experiment for example, using Bel-Ray fork oil you can blend different weights.
I second that.


If you change the oil, use a completely different weight. If you're using 15w for example, go down to 7.5 or something.

it does?

My 04 only has springs in one side and springs and a cartridge in the other side. Am I missing something (very possible)?

I don't mean to be an ass, but..Are you sure you are turning the damping adjustment knob in the right direction? ..on top of the left stantion.

That's kind of strange. To be honest, if I set my Super T's rebound all the way fast, it is too fast! I'm thinkg you may be better off adjusting the compression, I think if the rebound was any faster it would just be too much...

Just my $.02, I really like fast rebound, but the Super T's rebound can be adjusted too fast!

I have a 2004 Super T too and the rebound is really fast, too fast if the rebound is turned all the way in. Turn the knob to the left and it gets faster and of course turning to the right slows it down. If you turn it all the way to the right the fork will take a few seconds to fully rebound in slow motion! Stock oil weight by the way is 7.5wt and the stock brand of oil is Golden Spectro! This is important to know if you plan on blending oil weights. Use the same brand of oil.
