    I find the new huskys, like the KTM semi twitchy and not neutral handling. You might want a steering damper to calm it down. Or you might just love it as is. Sorting the forks will help a lot too.

    I added my shelved GPR....but the jury is not out on it, the front felt sluggish once again (why I removed it from my 450 and never put it on either 310) What I did do also was to take Tys suggestion "On 2 strokes I like to run @ 25MM static sag" So I went there to load the front more, I just did too many changes to nail down whats doing what.....

    Line 2 might be low , 4cs forks are already shorter than CC forks . Try running them flush

    Thanks Tim. i went right down with the intention to get a feel in the really tight twisty stuff. I was at 1st ring, most likely I will be back to first or to as you suggested flush top.

    . That's what I'm hoping for! I've been working like a slave and stress myself to much and I'm to high strung for a guy my age! I tried to stay away as I'm a KTM hater. But per say some one has to carry the crown or torch per say and this was my birthday present to myself. Yea 9000k with accesories . 50 years young! A wise old guy once told me we don't usually regret what we did in life we regret what we didn't do! Its paid for and I worked hard for it. No I don't care how you put it I won't own a pumpkin but I'll ride the husky and I am hoping it works out well! I'm excited. I'm taking a few days off and if I have to sleep in my truck at Chadwick and ride by myself who gives a crap. I'm alive. Better off then many and one thing is for sure I'll be having a good time!!!

    Rob, both Rich Lafferty and Wattsy say, that you should go with your bars more centered over the forks. Full forward position is too much. Rich says go with bar mounts in forward hole, but with them flipped back.

    I also just checked in yea, Michelin makes a an M16 (90/100-21) designed for use in only one of their tires the HP4 series starcross hard terrain tire.
    I spoke with ZipTy it seems that they have a line on those and they are on order.
    Hopefully no more mousse cutting and stuffing.
    Last time I checked the chart the M15 (90/90-21) was the only do all 21in mousse in the catalog

    I also now believe that Golden Tyre does make a "fatty"" sized mousse to fit their bigger sized front tires

    The next and greatest would be in a form like spray foam insulation so would negate the need to mount the mousse/tire, only to remove it. Use the valve hole in the rim to prelube the casing and then with a suitable pressure sensitive adapter, inject the liquid mousse.

    Which Shark wants to bite on this grand idea?

    That idea has been floating around for a long time, guess someone needs to find a material that will do that.

    yes works good for insulation, put it in your tire and get back to me. :) I have heard it all, tennis balls, pool noodles, toy footballs. Nothing seems to work.

    Not tennis balls, tofu, urea formaldehyde, etc... Butyl, nitrogen, etc. Probably a curing and chemical, control issue. Tire curing inside a tire. Tinken will invent the right formulations

    More knob height = easier to rip (chunk) off.
