Some interesting points made here. I think I'm going to have a go at getting the shock lowered as has been suggested. Then maybe save some coin to get back to another suspension tuner. I guess I'm just frustrated that getting the springs sorted and playing with all the clickers hasn't helped. Also a bit down after having 2 decent crashes resulting in injury and not feeling any love for the bike at the moment!

Chad is not that expensive compared to Krooze Tune or Dirt worx in Melbourne area.
he did my bike with Springs and revalving plus setting rear shock 450bucks.
same on a friends KATO and YAMA

Oh good, glad you guys have them down there. Shipping to AUS is crazy. It has to be the 90/100-21 though.

Nice, will do. I'll have a few weeks off the bike to get this stuff sorted as I get my hand / thumb / wrist operated on next week. Thanks guys!

 

[Dangermouse449]

I reckon I'm going to give the Mitas a run on the back next Time I change as well.
Helmut loves it on his 511 for most stuff.
I'm keen for some more hill climbing grip!

 

[Dangermouse449]

Oh, & best of luck with the surgery too mate!

I weight 310lbs with gear on and I am tall, so I put different leverage on the suspension than normal. I had a 6.3 spring put on the rear & .56 on the front. I think that the geometry is wrong and that it is raked forward. The forks are all the way to the top of the clamps. Once I get the back lower than the front, I will increase compression in the forks and hopefully compensate for washout.

Front tire is a Dunlop Geomax MX 71F

Mike your gonna need a bigger boat...i mean bike lol. I had to bro

 

[Tinken]

Have you seen my bike?

I have it's bad ass...for what it's worth we have a big guy in our group and he struggles in the sand more than we do. He rides a new crf 450 and has front end washes too more so at slower speeds. On second thought maybe it's just him...

 

[Tinken]

Maybe you can pass on some of the info above. He can always call or email me too.

You know what we need for the sand? Husky te flag holders...my fabrication friend

 

[Tinken]

I know, been thinking about that, but if you mount off the muffler, I'm afraid it will bend the sub-frame. Maybe not, who knows. One of those red led lighted flag poles... Need one on my golf cart too

 

[Teambowles]

I know I know but if you use the smaller flag pole not the big lighted one or the one with spring on it like they use on quads I'm thinking it wouldn't bend anything. If you get time and motivation and more time I'll take 2. I'm not a fab guy so my thought is a simple tab off the exhaust bolt u shaped so it rests on both sides of the fmf slip on then mount a quick release on that and off and running. Let me know who to make the check out to lol

 

[Tinken]

I'll take a closer look at it

 

[Huskynoobee]
