Scalvini showed today.... Now I just need a bike to mount it on.

Those pipes are works of art!

I'm hoping it works as good as it looks.....

If that doesn't cream your twinkie there is something wrong with you.

Do you have the bike yet? It looks like that's the pipe for the older frame? Of course I could be completely wrong. It's the rear mount that doesn't look quite right. The pipe is beautiful, please post a pic when you get it on the bike. . Jealous... Or as my kids say, Jelly.

 

[JSK73]

Beautiful pipe, truly a work of art. Will it rust like an FMF factory "insert model" or is it stainless?

My daughters 125 had .43 forks springs and 5. shock spring.

She would probably benefit from lighter fork springs and heavier rear. I went down one on front and up 5 on rear on mine and I weigh about 185lbs. Depends on what she weighs but Set the rear static sag about 32mm (less than 10mm preload on spring). See if she has about 100-103 rider sag. Front has to be too stiff. Mine came with a .42 and I ended up with a .40. You want about 42mm static and 75mm rider. Makes the bike a WHOLE lot easier to mount, with the proper sags.

I don't. It should be for the new frame though...

Vin, what year CR do you have and what rear spring do you have in it?

I have a WR150 2011. I now have a .40kg front and a 6kg rear. I weigh 185lbs naked !

I'm the same weight. I guess I can go for the same spring regardless of valving, correct? Thx btw, G

 

[CelticDude]

Only if you ride naked!

I'm sure it will work out. Valving has nothing to do with sags. BUT, double check your numbers. I was just checking the Husky specs for front suspension. How do they figure that the same fork springs will work on the 250/300 as the 125 ?

Yes, it was way too heavily sprung for her. I had it revalved and resprung much lighter and she likes it a lot more now. Just sucks that I can't ride it anymore.

 

[mnnthbx]

What common forks will fork bleeders for this bike fit?

You never said what she weighs. She should not have needed a lighter rear spring. Only lighter front. Maybe a heavier rear. You never said what was the static and rider sag numbers she was getting.

IIRC, (just threw the paper away) 38/102 rear, 32/50something front. She weighs 140ish.

The rear isn't too bad. Rider sag is good but static is a bit much. I would have liked 31-35 better. So I would have gone one softer. But It might not be worth effort. As for front you need a lighter spring yet. Do you have a .38kg in there or a .40kg ? Front should be more like 40-44mm static and 75mm rider. My avatar shows my bike with the stock .42kg spring in it. Looks like a chopper. LOL. Setting the front properly will help greatly with turning and being able to get the seat height down about an inch in the front.

I spoke to Jay today about getting a new 2013 WR125 / 144 / 165. Says the new bikes have the Open Chamber Kayaba 48mm fork. I had no complaints about the Marzochi forks. Anyway I will be selling mine and building a new one this fall. Probably by Dec. Although my lights are not hooked up, I do have a tag for it.
