FastR1Red Member 360 Member For: 19y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: Mt Waverley Posted 28/09/11 12:33 AM Share Posted 28/09/11 12:33 AM I am at 92kg currently and need to get down into the mid 80`s, I`ll do that and in a couple months I`ll be starting to think about going right through the forks and shock. Prolly an Ohlins kit in the front, revalve and new oil front and rear.At 92KG you'll definately need front springs as a minimum. Valving is a bit slow but manageable.Is that 92kg with your gear on or without? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know F all about anything with less then 4 wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 27d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 28/09/11 03:28 AM Share Posted 28/09/11 03:28 AM This is why I like QLD.. Thought about getting my license but it was pointless cause under 25 I would've had to have a year on restricted license..2 days after turning 25 I tested for my restricted license.. a week later I tested for unrestricted.. (It's worth noting that the testers only came to the town I was in once a week and I wasn't allowed to test on the same day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause Suzuki sells the GSX-F (650cc I think) with an option if you're on a restricted license.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About $5000 secondhand and a great traffic splitting bike. My badboy matches the SS in color. Edited 28/09/11 05:03 AM by pazzo xr6t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
