Title: WHEN UNSURE..CALL THE MFGR!!!
Post by: MELK-MAN on October 02, 2003, 05:18:38 PM
well. had ridden a friends new 03kawi 636.. SUPER motor. Makes the F4 motor fell like a moped in some respects. Traxxion forks, super duper 3-way adj. Ohlins too. The bike felt very very stiff! pushing on the rear i could hardly make it move and could not make sag numbers work. Had friends look at it a bit at the track day and many commented it felt stiff. Even Mike Mills said.. "im alot bigger than you and i wouldnt like it.."..(mikes a fast sv rider and a good size fella).. SO..call Ohlins and they recently updated the spring that would be sent from them on that shock. Seems the one that they sent was actually found to be the right spring for a 200-225 LB rider..im 155lbs.. Hmmm. Wish they woulda called or something... :( They are gonna fix it but times a runnin out for the ROC..
DR. Farrell.. ill try to bring it back in 1 piece!
