marks, have you tried the valve spring mod to your front end yet?

not yet
its on the list of things to do

Whats the valve spring Mod?

I thought Nordie got some emulators that made adjusting the rebound easier?

Done the 22c Mod? Thats the next on the list after doing the steerer tube bearing lube.
Getting the swingarm back tomm - it's getting welds over where the kick start & rear pegs been rubbing it.

Also gonna do the exhaust mod just to get a deeper note. I will wait till the bikes going again for this one tho.

I have cleaned the bike (cheers WW) & silicon sprayed it. Mrs Padmei wondered if I had repainted it - came out looking like a new bike. Learning new things all the time

Straighten headlight/fairing bracket
Fit new fairing
Replace front wheel bearings
Fit rimlocks
Fit straight handlebars or re align steering.
Fuckit go for a ride.

Just reread Nordies post & am unsure of the intimators now. I think a preload spacer may be better - would it stop bottoming out easier? Prob better springs would be better but they're big bucks.

Why you not rissen?

Go to a garage or engine shop and get a couple of old valve springs of about 2 inches long and about the same od as the id of your forks and pop them on top of your fork spring then put the spacer in and tighten it all up again.

Straight up it worked wonders for my beast.

If you want plush without dive and have $300us to spare get the Intiminators.

If you're a genuwhine KLR owner get a couple of freebie valve springs...






I want some for my XR to replace the large nuts I've got preloading the springs...
I can feel the clunk as they top out over bumps from here...

Not many people would admit that their large nuts clunk when they top out...

I like how you spell genuwhine. Is that a Freudian slip in relation to your 3rd gear?

Also that their large nuts actually have an effect on spring preload.

How else to you get dents in the top of the tank?

Earplugs=no more whine.

It's the extra weight you see...

I just ordered a set of the Intiminators like Nordies got - they are on special - about $300 NZ including the fecking horrendous delivery charges.
