fast pace. Only complaint from me is that if entering
a 20 mph or less corner there is a twitch.

rcannon409 said:Colt, in checking with Traxxion, they has several different fork options for this bike. Which one did you go with? The prices ranged from about 300-1200 depending on which fix a person wanted.

Sounds like you think its a bad idea, can you explain...I'd like to know why for information purposes.

where ??
nando said:The thing is:
I got lowered rear end....stock front. I wonder how/if those Traxxion tubes would help my ride...
...m not a racer but I do not like the vagueness of the stock when I crank hard turns...I guess I am comparing to my previous RT which cornered like lizard in heat.

You'll get just what your talking about from lowering just the back end. Doing so kicks the front end out like a chopper. Lowering the front an equal amount is the place to start.

There isn't any shot in the dark with lowering the front end because there is not any linkage involved, it's a 1:1 ratio to the change in the height adjusters. If you want to lower the bike, turn the fork's height adjusters counter-clockwise and then change the rear end to get the desired steering geometry.

What! I thought you had to raise the forks above the triple trees to lower the front....I think turning that bolt you are talking about softens the pre-load...unless I am not understanding a work you say....got pics?
nando said:ON FORKS:The lowering the forks with the bolt alters the pre-load sag. Would that not defeat the purpose of adjusting the sag to fit your weight. If one adjusts the forks to achieve a certain height you might end up bottoming out and front shocks being too soft...or would it be too stiff?...what are your thought on these
nando said:currenty I got the screw at 3 click count and the bolt such tha it has 13 mm per measurement procedures on manual...
