Forks and springs

[cheese]

LOL come on guys! group hug!

Yeah Greg I'll take you up on your offer, I've not responded yet because I've felt a bit guilty after you offered to do it for cost. That is very generous and I do appreciate it and all your help. Sorry my finances are tighter now. Having one income and a child in the house certainly sucks alot of your money up - well worth it though!

My Initial springs question was quicky answered with a bit of research and I found that they are correct for my weight (I couldn't remember if I'd asked you that before Greg). We were talking about it on Sunday and I thought that I'd ask on here about it. I like to ask any bike question on here first as I often get a correct answer quickly. I'm an electronics tech after all!!

After my spill at the T100, I took my wheel and forks off and reset it according to your instructions, but I think I had it very slightly set wrong as I set it up again a few weeks back and when I took the axle out it went "ping" I hadn't really noticed it was hard until I had a bike swap with someone out on a ride. It felt better (so I thought) but on sunday after the ride at riverhead (I hadn't been out on a lap when I saw you) and It was still feeling a bit harsh. To be honest it could be entirely my clickers set up as I'm unsure of what the rebound is set to. The Compression is set all the way down (which I now know is a no no). Let me check it tonight and I'll give you a call Greg.

You also forgot to mention in your post about me and my questions about brakes all the time.

p.s. my jetting seemed to be bang on on Sunday. Must just be set up best for the warmer conditions.

No worries. Call me next week 9-5.30 Or better yet just get the forks to me.

I just pulled a set of Showas off a 07 KXF250. This bike tends to sit around a bit (sound familiar) and the kashima coated cartridge rods are so sticky from a film build up that I see in similar cases that the rods which are meant to return to full length (or just about) only return half way, the cartridge seals are fine and not leaking (which is another cause of this symptom). This film needs to be removed to get the fork working smoothly again. Just brought it up cause its in front of me and is something else to consider which needs addressing during a service.

LOL yes I've only done about 30 hours on my bike since Jack was born.....

I'll pull the forks off and drop them over in the weekend or early next week.
