Ok here we go, When I bought my KTM 350 I was very happy with the straight line speed but I was far from happy with the actual handling of the stock suspension, I went through numerous clicker adjustments trying to chase the feel that I had on my old KTM 250, but no matter what I done, I blew through corners, got kicked in the arse on smallish mounds, and just seemed to be chasing my tail to get the bike to do what I wanted it to do. Steve Nagle from SSS motorcycles Tamworth talked me into getting a suspension overhall. I haven’t actually ridden the bike in the bush but just looking at the darn thing I recon I will be up there with Chad Reed when I get a handle on it, It sits mighty proud..

I dropped the bike off to SSS motorcycles Tamworth and Steve said give me a week and you can pick it up, I put my total faith in Steve s knowledge in suspension because all I said was make the bloody thing handle for me. Steve took a few photos during the rebuild and gave me a brief explanation what he done to it.

Fork revalve in progress compression valve stack getting some major attention to achieve a smooth plush ride with less rider fatigue . Correct fork Spring rate used also .

This what colour spring I had when I left the bike, it is now some kind of ducks guts after market black heavy duty thingy, apparently this is what my bike needs to haul my fat arse around the bush.

I will be doing a write up on how the Kato handles once I am back on it (2 weeks time).

I can not thank Steve Nagle from SSS motorcycles Tamworth enough, the guy is flat out building race engines and fixing up other bikes yet he still found the time to fit in my bike for a total suspension rebuild.

Cheers

Now smooth Boony

[glennMember]

Just don’t talk about bozo’s obvious problem and he might stay calm and not go off like a raving lunatic. And don’t look Luke in the eyes no matter what he does. Seriously

[glennMember]

I pick the three fitty up tomorrow arvo, Full write up on the work and some piccies for the slow ones(snowy) as well to come. Just need to get out on the trails and test the bloody thing out. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

soon to be Smooth Boony

[glennMember]

watch them mate their a dodgy lot, especially that Luke and Bozo is not much better.

[glennMember]

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh :angry: :angry: :S
