For those who have a vario fork (ECC, U-turn or whatever):
I was curious how often you guys actually use the posibility and your experience how it works.
Would you get the same system again?
I own a Z1FR and have to say that I dont like to lock out, even though you can feel the difference on steep uphill

I bought one just for it. Sooo many steeps here that I hate walking but my bike is too slack to ride up a lot of stuff :)

I've been on my '02 Z1 for 'bout a month now & used the ECC quite a bit for the first week on the steep uphill climbs, but started using it less & less and haven't used it all last week, so looks like I won't be using it again... :o

I have the U-Turn feature on my new bike and I honestly haven't fiddled with it yet oter than when I needed some slack in my lock cable.
