Before today the Works Performance rear shocks were much nicer than the front stock forks.
Today the stock front forks with YSS PD Valves (emulators) are improved so much the rear now feels crap compared
The front brakes are total crap and have a new cable and shoes but the cable has no teflon liner...
Played around with rear shock air pressure from 90psi to 200psi and settled on 180psi which was plush(ish) over the stones but still resisted bottoming over the whoops.
The springs are far too heavy though and kick the back up in the whoops.
Still is a lot better than before
It's easier to post here and it keeps me out of the other threads...
We like having you contained
I checked the DR's rev tell-tale and with with Shane riding it yesterday it hit 7,500rpm...
Redline is about 7,500rpm...
Did you expect any different. What about the front wheel airtime log?
Speaking of which can DRs be held in long wheelies? - standard ones that is...
Too many whoops on the track for long wheelies.
They can be but not sure how good it is oil-wise...
The Intiminators really worked well out there. The rear needs a gold valve as it's got good low speed damping but too much high speed damping. Or something.
It was fun to do a few laps on the DR after the XR
Warewolf on the XR for the first time...
Finally a dirt bike he can flatfoot
Whats the story with the mx track, can anyone use it?

GO BRO GO
Shane dealing to the DR...
I like this track.
No big jumps that could be attempted on inappropriate bikes...
It's a hell of a workout armpump wise though...
Looking at the XR footage the back hasn't got enough sag (rear can't drop into holes) and the spring rate is to high (kicking up).
The damping is pretty good though.
Problem is I have no idea what the current spring rate is.
Anyone got a spring dyno in Nelson?
Oh dear.
There's enough room on the dash for one of these...
