If my thinking is anything close (on the WAG) associated with the reversed cup and missing o-ring I would be looking for changes during square edge hits. Be also interested if you have to change the clicks on the BV and if so how many.grump99 wrote:Tried using a smaller size o-ring, found one that fit nice and snug inside the tube . Will take a ride maybe tomorrow and see if it changes anything. Flipping the cupped washer had no effect as far I noticed.
P.S. I sit in snow and cold wanting to ride my snowmachine but there not enough snow - now because of this thread and thinking too hard I want to dirt bike (my favorite past time) - not enough snow for one - too much snow and cold for the other. This seems the way my life goes - anyone else??

Yep - Beer has food subsitute calories/values but no food has any Beer subsitute calories that I've ever seen. Well and the teenagers need something other than beer to drink/eat.canyncarvr wrote:Groceries.

I'm disappointed Gump - CC will not feel the need to pull his suspenders' o-rings and flip his cap to check out the magic he unknowly destroyed: The rest of us will need to pull the BV and remove the o-ring due to the "weight savings" aspect so we can keep up - alias I'm off to bed.

Just a little update. I have been having a little trouble getting the bike to turn in the tight stuff. I slid the forks up to 1" above the triples (was at 3/4") and the bike turns a lot better now. I was surprised at how a small change could have such a noticable effect.
However the front end has developed some head shake at higher speeds (more weight on the front?) I will try 7/8" and fool with the clickers to see if I can find a happy medium.

It is a very touchy balancing act.... I'm still working on it too.

For better turning lowering the forks is whats recommended, for better High Speed (No Head Shake) Raising the forks is whats recommended. Now if you lowered to 1 inch below the top triple I would think you have less fork area for the clamp to secure to (you know the fatter part of the fork). If you are having problems turning adjust your rebound or compression..Maybe a New Front Tire???grump99 wrote:Just a little update.

After you have rechecked your rear shock sag and have adjusted your fork height and rebound clicker to get the bike to turn to your liking: If you still have a little bit of head shake - a couple more mm of fork spring preload may help in elimination of the headshake.
