I havent done the zip tie thing yet. I'll do a search on how / what to do.

I'm want to get the suspension dialed in and be a better rider before I worry about trying to make more power. Thanks for all the info guys.
You most likely need a shock spring, but I imagine the fork springs are OK.

The zip tie thing is:

Put a zip tie arround the fork slider, cut off the excess to it's just like a ring arround the tube. Push it up so it touches the dust seal and then go for a ride. When you ride the zip tie will be pushed down which will in turn let you know how much travel you are using. If you are bottoming the forks out the zip tie will be touching the fork foot (the part that holds the axel and brake).
