    This is a cool old dirt bike. Can't wait to get it running and riding it in the back yard. Thanks again Judy! -joe

    progressive or linear springs

    Judy, on a street bike they may provide a 'better' ride, more comfortable. I *think* the reason folks started using them was to mask issues with damping circuits that were woefully inadequate. But that is just a guess. They could mask a horrible compression circuit by becoming stiffer as the...

    sonic springs

    What Judy said. Traxxion, Ohlins, Racetech. All of them have a person on the other end of the phone that can answer your questions. Joe

    progressive or linear springs

    This answer requires you understand the difference between a progressive and a straight rate spring. As well a basic understanding of what sag is and why we want it on our race bikes. We set sag to determine the proper ride height of the motorcycle. We do this by adjusting the spring preload...

    Wheel Change Tool!

    daddy and avizpls; quick change front ends are nothing new. just really expensive. go search youtube and watch a daytona front tire/wheel change. though i have no idea what this spammer is selling. the idea that one HAS to remove the calipers is not entirely true. -joe

    key delete-how to

    This is not answering his question. He asked how, not if he should. The best reason to do it is that he wants to. If that isn't sufficient, then perhaps he has already lost the key? Or is worried about his day being ruined because he forgot his key. Judy's answer gave a measured response as an...
