Message: [QUOTE="MXN4FUN, post: 169833, member: 15981"] Yep the '02 are out and I have about three hours on one. Feels like tight '01 can't really evaluate the suspension cause I'm running the fork internals that MX Tech did for me 2 years ago, Yamaha hasn't come close to his performance. The shock was stock with just a switch to a 5.8 Kg/mm spring and a quarter turn out on the low speed and 3 clicks on the rebound seemed to pick up everything nicely. Bottoming on the other hand wasn't to supply as it was with MX-Tech rear shock. Power was crisp and much like the '01. Tad more off the bottom, or just cleaner? Starting was as easy as the '01 but has the same annoying problem of being a bugger when stalled in just the right way, otherwise a 1~2 kick starter. The rear section is a bit skinnier fender doesn't protect as well as I rode in mud and rain yesterday. All in all not the quazar leap like from '00 to '01 but that makes the transition to new bike easier. Plastic still turns white:( Have to check if old sprockets fit the new hubs because stock gearing worked fine just swictched the rubberband they put on for a chain. Am going to thrash it some more tonight and will post further impressions later. Hope this helps. Oh yeah no hesitation off idle, but I am running VP C-12 and 158 main 1 3/4 out and the rest stock. And grease everything as Japan must have a shortage. [/QUOTE]
