Ok, It's not all that bad. Basically I'm wondering how difficult changing the springs in the shock and forks will be. I'm plenty mechanical and have been known to strip my bike to the frame after a muddy hare scramble but I'm wondering about any special tools? The book says some are needed but can a guy do it without them, I have a mill and lathe in my shop so I may be able to work up any necessary holders etc. How about measuring the oil level? (Can you tell that the INSIDE of forks are a new area for me :eek: ) Also where can I find a chart for the springs for my weight, I'm pushing 240 in gear so you could say that it's a little undersprung. And last but not least, where do you all recommend I order them from for price/quality. I was gonna have the suspension sprung and valved at a shop but the race funds getting a little thin, at least thats what SHE :p says
