bros b4 ...um...Maple.

Bout time we saw some content ML, not bad for a learner...

I see a bike with no shock and unopened bottles of brand new oil and new tools. This thread is the biggest fail dr has ever seen. How can anybody even remotely not stupid call this a tech thread? Its a $&@& disgrace and sad what this has come to. Lock it down "mod"

total troll.

Shut this $@&&$ "tech" thread down its a $@$@$ disgrace

Shut it down down down down!

Unopened oil + somebody else doing the work = wannabe useless "tech" thread ffs

Fork U Nick!

TUSK! Y buy anything else??



50 hrs and no cracks yet.





measeured wat came out just 2 b sure ;)



Dont 4get the stem bearings!  :)

wen they start cracking I guess.  have u heard wen that usually is??  100 hrs??  150?? 

i dont think its an hours thing I believe its just when you finally get a hit on the front thats too hard.

theres a mod you can do that involves drilling holes in the side of plastic piston that allows oil to drain out that fills in the top. I believe they crack from hydraulic locking when the piston compresses right up against the base valve cap under rapid compression.

I had forgotten about the modification you could do, NZ. Good call there as well.

sff = gay

That sense no made

Sff supreme o

clearly the cost savings of only having 2 purchase 1 spring should u need 2 change the rate mate.

no offense to the SSF fork but on youtube, I have been watching all the reviews so far on the 2013 450 shoot out, the dirt rider crew doesnt seem to like the SSF this year and surprisingly liked the yamaha's suspension setup, which doesnt have the SSF feature. So idk???

PSF

Picked up a set of Moose Radiator Braces.



to put them on it requires draining the coolant so I had to pull off the air box. (Dag plz remind me 2 take out the paper towel :) )





sum of the bolts will be hard 2 get at, so I used lots of Blue thread locker



They seem 2 fit nice and look sturdy enough, but the left side needs to have nylon spacers to pad it out away from the coil.  And then u need to modify the shrouds so they will bolt back on.




While I was under the tank I gave the valves another check. (Look NICKEEEYYY!!!!!! :)   )



Its hard 2 c from this pic how far out the left Radiator is, but if it keeps them straight "when" not if I go down on the ice, it will be well worth it.





All I need now is sum Ice.  :(

nice!   you want ice?   C'mon over!

 Probably the extra hundy to buy it...   LOL

You should spend less time fussing over your valves and more time, I dunno, riding maybe??

Maple's not gonna be impressed with the rad guards.  God help you when he sees this.   LOL

Why would I need to check them, they seem to go up and down ok?

@ML - your bike is an SE as well its the White model YZ's. it just stands for Special edition. Because as everyone knows the YZ's are always blue and white, if you look at the MSRP black, white and sometimes red model YZ's are $100 to $200 more then the Blue models. The dealership by me calls the special editions so????
