[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 653090, member: 18302"] I bought an '84 brand new back in the day. Brakes and forks were the weak points on the bike. Not too much you can do about the brakes (they were not good even by '84 standards) except make sure they are working as designed. Aftermarket shoes will not make much difference, IMO. From the factory, my forks had way too little oil. Adding oil to the forks really improves bottoming resistance and stiffness in the last half of the travel. Stiffer springs will also help a lot - on mine, I cut a few coils off and added additional spacers. Rear suspension is decent for a bike of that vintage if the shock is still working right. Can you repair the pipe? I doubt you will be gettting any major performance increase with the DG pipe, and you already said the bike has plenty of power. Top quality tires are going to aid peformance more than a pipe, IMO. It's a nice handling bike and fun to ride - good luck with yours. [/QUOTE]
