Do you want the double or single room? :laugh: Tell her there’s a near new bathroom for you to use here too.
There would be nearly no weight on the rear spring by now. Maybe try splitting the diiference between static and rider sag. Doesn’t sound like you’ll make it any worse.
What offset are the Berg triple clamps. Maybe a set of them might be cheaper than the aftermarket ones.
Until Rudy chimes in I’ll keep thinking of ideas.
Oh and the shed has a bed and bathroom too if your not comfortable staying in the house with us…
What about steering dampener or 2012 350exc do the bathroom yourself and put the money you save to a new bike, Try some tile paint, she’ll never notice

:laugh: :laugh: The shed will be fine! :laugh: :laugh:
I am about 75kg with all my gear on and ready to ride. Which should be fine with the std spring.The only thig is that the berg triple clamps are 22mm which gives less trail. I have been reading KTM Talk and the majority of guys reckon go to 18mm offset to increase trail; this gives a more planted feel through singles etc; however this will give less stability at higher speed but this is over come by more steering dampening at speed as well as moving the rear wheel as far back as possible….
I will keep experimenting.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah thanks STM,
On the std triple clamps I have 4 bar positions. Mine was at position 2 I will now try Position 3 which is futher forward of the pivot point. So this in theory shuld bring my eight a little further forward.
Cheers

No i don’t have bar risers (vertically challenged mate) And my steering damper is an over bar type. I will have a chat to tekniks and see what they think; but I am sure it can be better. At the birthday ride it was awesome at Sunny Corner but i had new tyres and there was good grip. As soon as it gets a bit loose that is when it is a pain in the arse. I will keep trying. thaks for your input.As I say Every Day is a School Day!
Cheers
