Your bike looks so damn good. Anyhow, if its really upgefucked, I'd give Lindemann a call and send it down in the off season. I won't ask why you were using a 10ft cheater bar to adjust your compression damping.... http://www.gixxer.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif Does the 'stub' still turn, or is it all seized up? ------------------ Benjamin Tang 06-13-2001, 10:44 PM at some point in the last 3-4 years of rebuilding i must have broken the knob and i don't know how. the preload is set so high the tail kicks out on rough pavement in turns and it's really getting hairy. my friend helped me drop the perch as low as he could and it's been better, but that's not the way to do it obviously... there isn't enough of what remains in the reservoir to grab onto to turn. sigh. ben http://www.gixxer.com/ubb/images/icons/frown.gif ------------------ ben :) http://www.geocities.com/bentang_00/gsxr.html bcjohn 06-15-2001, 08:04 AM Ben, give Mike Stronach a call at MAS Cycle Services on 24th ave in White Rock (surrey). He tears down Ohlins and the like, so he might be able to help. Otherwise, contact me at popeyebird@hotmail.com for some more info. ------------------ | ||
