Going to buy some parts from rockymountainmc tonight and i got a few questions.

Is a $60 tusk rear rotor worth it? I need a new rear rotor and dont want to spend a ton of money.

Also what seals do you all reccomend, i dont want to spend more than $30.

Also, will the tusk seal savers that are $10 things work as well as the sealsavers that are $20.

Also what hand guards do you all reccomend. I want to spend no more than $60, and i have the pro taper bars.

The tusk rear rotors work pretty good. They are stainless and mine has worn very well.

I dunno about the other items, but I like my Tusk bar guards. I think they have held up a lot better than the Acerbis ones on my kid's bike. They seemed to be a good value for the money, and they do offer a clamp for the fat bars. I think Tusk offers a pretty good value on a lot of their items. especially their tools. I've heard their aluminum bars aren't all that great, but I've only used their steel ones. They worked fine for $8 .

My experience withK&S seals was NOT GOOD on KTM WP43 forks. Alot of suspension shops will tell you that original seals (OEM) are the best. No experience with race tech seals but race tech has been around a long time and has shops through out the world - I would try them before another set of K&S seals.

Race Tech seals; I have them on my KX modded KDX. They are very stout and will take about 100 miles or so to break in. In the meantime, they will cause some stiction and the small bumps will be telegraphed to your bars. Don't try and modify your fork action until the seals are broke in.

so basically after 100 there will be no more stiction? And are you saying they are not good on small bumps? I mostly ride small bumps when i race.

re-read. If you invent a no stiction seal, you will be a very wealthy man and you can fund production of your perpetual motion machine.

ok, hes saying break them in before you start tuning the suspension (but he said that).
