Isn't kink good?
Usually kink is good. But when your view around the other side is blocked by trees, not so good at 127.
Nothing worse than having your balls go missing.

Just got the bike back from my independent shop after having valves adjusted (said all intake were tight and 3 exhaust tight), did a coolant change and throttle body sync. I installed a new air filter, radiator guard, and stebel horn today. Waiting on the hyperlites to show up in the mail and for the fuel cell to be built and then it will get installed.

I installed my new Traxxion AK-20 cartridges and springs in my forks yesterday.

FYI... Racetech springs and cartridges for sale.

Nicole, why the change? What's the spring rate?

Well, I just won the lottery and my accountant is saying to spend! The Race Tech springs are 1.20, and the cartridges I have are stock cartridges rebulit with with Race-Tech rebound and compression valves.

What are the new springs rated at?  Were the Race Tech springs harsh?

The stock spring is a bit harsh..at least to me.

The race tech spring is a progressive rate. It was a very nice ride, not harsh. My new spring is a 1.15, a bit softer for my lighter stature.
