Some info with the Works shocks

[99LRDblaster]

I've got some Works dual rates on the Blaster right now and I believe it's valved for a 165lb rider....I'm about 190 right now so that's an issue. At any rate would adding some nitrogen to the shock aid in the nosedive I am getting? It's been nosediving pretty severely. Doesn't seem all too bad except under braking, so while revalving would be the best route, it's rather costly and I am probably selling the Blaster around the end of the year, so would adding some nitrogen help alleviate the issue any? :-/

I'm already at 7.57% BF right now bro. Anything under 5% in the tank is typically when we call in the MDs for anorexic/bulimic patients.

ken oconnor just tried this adding extra nitrogen, it did not help, they are "springed" to light for his, and your weight
it's the springs, i believe, that are responsible for rider weight, the internal valving is adjusted for riding style
ken ended up adding a larger spacer between the 2 springs to alleviate the bottoming out of them, but springs for your weight are the ultimate solution
there are also different spacer collars that can be added in each spring that determines when and how long in the spring cylcle each one works
maybe a different spacer on the 1st, weaker stage spring will bring the stiffer spring into play faster,
the yfz triple rates i just traded to dualstroke came with 2 extra sets of different width "spring adjust spacers"
one call to works will get you all the info you need, the dude is really helpful, and answered all my questions one time
