    Well there you go. I was trying to get 100mm between the bike sitting on the ground and then it sitting on the ground with me on it. So I should only be looking for 50mm on that measurement?

    Took it for a ride yesterday and it didn’t feel right, I then noticed that it was sitting down in the arse end and it had lost about 40mm of travel and I could easily throw my leg over it (I couldn’t before).

    Closer inspection, proved that the ring nuts at the top of the spring had come undone and wound them selves up the shock. So I am now waiting for someone to help me, set the ride sag again.

    Any wonder it felt weird. :unsure:

    Hey Bert,
    What I would do is, get a philips head screw driver with the metal shaft that runs right through it, making sure it is the absolute correct size for the screw. Then I would, whilst trying to turn the screw, tap the screw driver on the end with a hammer at the same time. This technique not only helps loosen the screw, it may also stop you from completely buggering the screw head as the screw driver stays firmly in the slots of the screw.

    Great clip that one. Now I have Awol Nation’s “Sail” stuck in my head again.

    Hey TB, you forgot to mention, your first ride with the Motard wheels.

    You know the one, where you freaked the lady out when you went through her paling fence! :laugh:

    Great Report TB (as usual). As Ecks said, you certainly are a handy man to have around when things go not so right!

    I am thinking that once they got a 4T to rev like a 2T is what began the perceived demise of the 2T.

    I was standing next to a bloke at the races one day, he hadn’t been to the track for about 8 years and the 4T revolution happened during that period. He looked at me with a straight face and said” WTF is going on? In my day only poor c#@*$ and farmers rode 4 strokes!”
