Ooooh I just fitted my raiser links, gonna go for a quick spin see how the bike handles :titflash[1]:

Risers Fitted
Had them on in under 30minutes, with the assistance of my lurvely wife :dink:
The last picture is the only one 'before' shot I could find on a flat surface at that angle to show the difference. All seems great so far, I also eased the rear shock to the third notch. The rear end seems lighter now, and feels like it slids easily is this normal, has it happened to anyone else or am I just imagining it??? http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/6541/pict5218kw7.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/1505/pict5220qv5.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8548/pict5221lg9.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/9974/pict5224uc6.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5397/39138929lj7.jpg |

Denny its all normal cause you have alot more wiegh on the front end once you brake the rear is alot higher than standard and tries to lift alot easier than normal. When i fitted my risers to my XTR i noticed this but it wasnt too bad really. Just got to be cautious in the wet though, very easy to slide the rear under hard braking.

Gotcha! Any other tips other than riding in the rain (which I rarely do :D)

Just watch for when you go racing in the very twisty stuff, cause if you do a left right or right left (flip flop corner) the suspension up front can take a while to cope with the force and can spring back at you on the second part of the corner and hit you hard in the man bits. I got one of those in wales.:smilielol:. Quite pain ful:cry[1]:. Thought i 1/2 my chance of having kids.:crybaby2:
Apart from that just take it easy for the first couple of races/runs to work so you can get used to how it handles. But im sure you have alreadly done this by now. |
1. Collected a spare pair of wheels from N.Yorks
2. Swapped the temporary Blue handguards for the permanent Black handguards. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...acio/018-1.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...onacio/020.jpg 3. Fitted the Kev fork risers to Blackie. 4. Fitted the Kev raising links to Blackie. Check out that lean angle - my son calls it Townsend Thorensen ferry. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...onacio/018.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...onacio/019.jpg 5. Adjusted chain & suspension to cater for the new horseback ride. http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/h...rent=023-1.flv VID 6. ? any guesses ? |
Looking good Dave, are those tyres :avon: Distanzia's?
