Little help and advice please. I’m putting together a FZR250 (3LN) chassis as a bucket. The front forks have about 150mm travel which is lots more than another bucket I rode in the weekend that handled superbly. Question is, should I restrict the travel to say about 75mm whilst I have the forks in pieces and, apart from fitting emulators, is there any other mods that would be worth doing? I was thinking of fitting say a 75mm spacer over the top-out spring and cutting a similar amount from the main spring preload spacer. I’m running 3LN wheels front and rear, 2.75” and 3.5” with a single large disc off the earlier model with a late model 4 pot calliper and slicks both ends.
Any thoughts on the rear shock would be appreciated as well. Stock currently but with the major weight reduction not right I would think.
