    Hi Guys

    Done some fine tuning after my first ride –

    Removed the standard 6 day front and replaced with a Pirreli
    set the rear sag at 100 mm , was measuring 112 – 115 mm when settled in
    moved the forks up through the tripple clamps around 5mm
    fitted steering damper ( had to machine my old mount up to suit ) MSC do not make a mount to suit the Beta , just waiting on the headstock mount from Scotts .
    Bike felt awesome after the mods .

    The steering damper looks the goods Drewy , I recently changed my rear standard tyre from the Michelin 140 they sell the 450 with to a Dunlop MX51 110/100 and it now turns on a dime and moves through the tight stuff very smoothly.

    How hard was it to mount the damper ?

    Hi Guys

    The damper mount was for a TM which is a fair bit different to what was needed for the Beta
    Hole centres and heights were different so I done up a rough sketch and had the machine shop guys at work to machine it up and believe it or not and taking into account my crap drawing it fitted perfectly .

    May need to modify slightly when I fit the post , we will see ( I love steering dampers )

    I have only been out twice but with the changes I made after the first ride the bike performed
    great , it steered much more precisely and felt very confident on it ( quality tires makes a big difference )

    Having not ridden a 2 stroke since 2008 I am still adapting but sure don’t miss that extra weight .

    Next ride will have the steering damper hooked up so can only get better , got to love it .
