I like to think there are several factors involved in a endo. Speed, Traction, braking, suspension and body position. Me personally would think if you dialed in your front forks the float would be more predictable. Im not trying to answer my own question but I would think that a stiffer spring for a bigger guy would have a positive affect in sense of compression. That's why I'm waiting for some of the graduates AM stoppie school to chime in about their setup. I have done a lot of research in suspension for road racing and have been on a loose bike and a bike with the suspension setup and there is a world of difference. So let's hear it... has anyone upgraded their internals for stoppies? This might be a myth buster for stunt bums to solve...js

And by way I'm rolling pretty good distance on stock.. I'm just tired of blowing forks seals on my 07 forks
And I figured why I'm in there I might as well upgrade if it's worth it..

i'm with mini on this one. try different settings and see what you like best.
here are some suggested settings for most bikes. http://www.sportrider.com/suspension.../kawasaki.html

Just ordered a set of stiffer fork springs so I can say what a general difference it makes when I install them. I already tried puttting heavier weight fork oil in and I didn't notice a difference at all.

I've run a heavier oil and did not notice a difference either. I've played around with different settings and I have to Frank the compression all the way down just to get a feel that feels somewhat good. Thats why I think a stiffer spring for me would allow me variation in dialing it in. I just order a 1.0 race tech springs. I planned on critiquing them and posting up how they feel. It might be awhile though since my bike getting shipped to the UK..
