DR-Z 400E/K SHOCK REVALVING
The stock extension stack is ok, a stiffer compression stack should be better. In the case of stock compression setting, the two regulating screws on the bottom of the leg must be turned all "in", and it's no enough.
 
Stock compression shim stack:

44 x 0.20  44 x 0.20  44 x 0.20  44 x 0.20
44 x 0.15  44 x 0.15  44 x 0.15
34 x 0.15  26 x 0.1
