[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 447392, member: 17066"] Bruce im still around-problems with my ISP again-im going to Broadband. Dont you just love people who never give straight answers;) i have found, from my work i always think of the whole problem- eg are all bikes the same-no do some prefer longer wheelbase-yes it was the 96 now my memorys working. do some prefer short wheel base-yes the 92KX125 was a dog in tight turns-running the wheel forwards helped. so why is that that these bikes vary? well some are well engineered and turn well and are stable-the Cr and the older YZs. the newer KXs are slow turning and the RMs skittish so these are more likely to benefit from weight changes etc.Try to remember nearly all changes have a downside-im trying to get through to some of the owners of suspension i have done, that most work is a compromise. They dont like the jarring/kicking skittish nature of mordern sx derived std suspension but they complain a plusher set up will not take the monster landings-cant have it all ways i tell them.Factory suspension has less of a compromise but costs more than most modified bikes.
