[QUOTE="MXBrian, post: 883402, member: 59042"] [b]Thanks[/b] Thanks, Osheen, for the great feedback. It's good to see that after pouring over the manual I wasn't too far out to lunch. I figured out that I don't need to separate the stanchions from the sliders (and thus would need tto re-seat the seals) after I posted, so that was good to read. Basically, you saved me from buying a tool that I don't necessarily need at this point (the seal driver) and another that would be useless to me (fork level gauge). That's like $100 you saved me!! Great bike, though, huh? I love it. Just put an FMF SST pipe and Powercore silencer on before running down a few states and doing an arenacross and I was really pleased with the power and response gains I felt I got. Also have a VForce-3, but haven't put it on yet. Have you messed with your jetting at all? I fouled a couple plugs when the bike was cold a couple times this fall duirng a couple real hot days, then did the same exact thing down at the race when it was in the 20's! I'm thinking of going with a couple articles I read that suggested moving down one or two sizes on the pilot and then raising the needle 1/2 slot. I've also been running pretty low octane fuel (92 is the highest I can get around here, the manual says 95 or higher) which probably isn't helping me out. I just realized that I can get 100 octane AV gas at the airport across the street from me, though, so I'm hoping that'll help a little. I haven't heard any pinging, though, and I'm not sure too-low octane fuel would cause plug fouling anyway. Well, thanks a lot for the thorough reply -- helped a lot! Brian [/QUOTE]
