Has anyone fitted "Magicals" progressive fork springs to their TY250?

If so what difference did they make?

I'm 105kg would they be of any benefit?

Same questions apply to the "Magicals" adjustable fork caps?

The modded damper tubes are way beyond my budget but if anyone has any comment on them I'd be interested.

Or should I just throw heavier fork oil in?

Thanks in advance for your input.

All the adjustable caps do is save the labour required to take the caps off to adjust the spring preload.

Standard Yamaha springs are progressive rate and work fine for me at 93kg. I even use the standard Yamaha preload setting. I do use 20wt oil set to 125mm from the top which probably makes them a bit stiffer at the end of the stroke compared with using the standard oil quantity.

I like the standard TY250 springs so much I also use them in my KT250 forks and my Cota 348 forks

The TY250 forks do have odd damping though - if you jump off another similar age bike that has good fork damping (like an OSSA MAR), then the Yamaha fork action does feel a bit strange. It doesn't seem to cause any problems riding with TY250 forks, but they do feel different.

I have fork springs, caps and damper tubes in my bike.

Only about 200% better than standard!!

The springs themselves are good but it is the whole package that makes the difference.

If budget is an issue I would buy springs and damper tubes and use standard caps.

The damper tubes are the best bang per buck investment.

I have the caps in basically the non preload condition so am not really using what they are designed for.

On standard forks use 10W or 15W oil depending on how responsive you like them.

I use slightly more oil than standard 200cc from memory.

about 10cc more than recomended.

I weigh about the same as you.

However in all honestly no matter what you do a good set of 35mm Betor/Marzochi/Foral, Beamish Suzuki etc are much better.

Thanks for your comments.

Plenty for me to think about.
