The magazine guys drive me nuts.... it's like they all wait to see what each other is saying about a bike before they will say it themselves... Articles on my 03 start off as a good bike and maybe even a contender for top 250 two-stroke to the slowest of them all with horrible suspension. As the 03 season progressed they suddenly all turned into motocross experts the y claim to be and suddenly noticed the suspension was no good. Funny how they all seemed to think it was ok in the beginning of the model year.
I'm going to have the shock rebuilt after 4 seasons of use. Is my rear shock really that poorly valved or is it a very good shock just not as good as some others? If it is "down right scary", as one mag put it, I'll get it re-valved.
