Ok before I get in over my head everyone says its easy to change the fork springs. I have a shop automatic erre I mean Manual :) thanks Rocketmeupto125.


But like always I am sure there is an easy way to do it. You guys made changing plugs a SNAP!!!! err well other than getting the suckers outa that deep hole heheh.

So anyone want to list the steps in doing a fork spring change. I went with the Taxxion 1.1 springs and they will be here next week.

I have 8K on the bike should I change the oil while I am in there ?

As always Thanks again. :)

Umm My mom always tells me to pull up my pants due to sag :) :)

So what is the correct sag and how do you go about setting it ? let me guess this is a whole new can of worms. Should I just let someone that knows whats up install the springs and set the sag ? or is it something a mear mortal can do ? I am fairly handy with tools or at least I think so hehehe. have done all kinds of mods to cars. But the bike is a new beast.

At least with the cars you have 4 contact points with the road so if you mess one up you have 3 left.

hummm lets see what Search brings up
