It's a white christmas

Postby Aussie Ninja » Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:17 am

White Power that is. Picked this up from Sydney yesterday and I'm like a kid with a new toy on christams morning. It was originally a TKA bit but has never been on a bike before. oh baby. Going away for work for a few days but I'll let you guess the first thing I'm doing when I get back. :D :D :D

Just happened to jump on ebay at the right time. The guy I got it off got it from TKA but didn't end up fitting it? :? Then sold his bike. His loss. :P

Can someone explain to me how aftermarket suspension is so much better, on your standard suspension you can adjust your spring rate compression and rebound, and even on some of the newer bikes coming out they have high and low speed damping, so how can aftermarket kit improve handling so much i cant get my head around it??

Stock suspension is built to a price. Often the range of adjustment is limited. The manufacturers do this because they don't want you making the bike unridable and sueing them after you fall off. It's kind of a you have to try it and see for yourself situation. I had an Ohlins on my 6 and the difference was night and day. In the case of the 10 the std spring is right for a 105kg rider and the compression damping is quite stiff. The WP is for a 85-90 kg rider (my weight) and has dual speed compression damping which the std shock doesn't have. Having the right shock will help me avoid becoming a jack in the box. ;)

Why yes it is. Didn't pay that though. That'd be my bad jumping to conclusions about TKA. Mick did mention in the add who he got it off. I googled him and it said he worked for TKA.
