I'm looking for people's thoughts on the almost ubiquitously offered bladder conversion kits for KTM's. Has anyone out there installed a bladder kit by itself (ie, without revalving at the same time) and noticed a difference?
It appears that the main claim to fame of these kits is improved small bump compliance. I ride in the woods of New England, so this improved small bump compliance would be a beautiful thing for me. However, most companies that sell them also try to package them with revalving, which leads me to believe that they're just being a little opportunistic when it comes to making a few extra $$$. The real test of this would be i any of you intrepid folks out there have tried JUST the bladder kit with no other modifications and ridden the bike (or better yet, dyno'd the shock).
I have noticed that Race Tech only claims that their bladder improves servicability, which is nice since you don't need the charging stand.
Thoughts????
Any thoughts
