Neka, if you were here and I didn't think you'd crash it, I'd let you ride my zed, the difference having front and rear suspension done is phenomenal. Just back is an improvement, but both together rocks :)

Neka I'm not saying he isn't.

What I am saying is that the bike is even better with the front fixed as well. Ask Hoey if you like, if the bike would be better with the front suspension done as well. Considering that involves having two forks working for the bike instead of one, it certainly makes sense.
If you think the bike is fine, no problem :) But my front end twitchiness has completely gone, it doesn't change line mid corner anymore, especially over bumps, and the steering dampener is on the lowest setting as the bike simply doesn't need it. I mightn't ride fast, but I like a bike that handles nicely no matter how fast I go :)

Hoey is good.



my bike doesnt do any of that./..the front end is a "little light" sometimes..but i reckon if i learn to keep the front wheel on the ground that might improve??

a lot of bikes (motard etc) only have one side adjustable..due to the size of the axl, the forks will compress/rebound at the same rate anyway...

i spoke to hoey abt it..he reckons that for the $800+ u will spend on the front end, its not *really* needed for everyday use...

Neka, I can validate Tanya's claims. We swopped bikes going up and down and up and down and up and down a mountain near Mt Lindsay it was as if I was on a totally different bike. So then I asked myself the Q. Uprgrade suspension on the mighty thou or sell it and buy a ZX10R? I went the Zx10R.

By the way brisbanites and south east qlders whens the next ride?
