Ok so i will replace my bar Thanks for the advicwhat about the spring rate? Any recommend bar? My preference is the 994-996 bent of renthal Do they have one without bridge? (I rather buy new one and sell mine than cutting the bridge) Are you guys sure ... more »

What is the rate of the oem ones? Can you ship it oversea?

Seriously? I dont think it can help with suspension set up but maybe Swap my bar to non twinwall could help with vibration and staff?

Shims move free, piston is tight Was 12*0.1= 1.2mm Now 9*0.1=0.9mm

Thanks for the reply guys This is the first time i am setting up my suspension myself Cause every time i am leaving it to some local suspension guy everything still feel the same I have just checked my left fork and the spring stamped 0.448 that means ... more »

Is it ok it is moving free? I just removed 3 shims so now i have 9 in total and it seems they move free

0.01mm Can I remove 3 face shims? There is any amount of shims i need to put so it will touch the valve? Or it is ok its free?

Comp BV: 7 - 22mm 2 - 19mm 1 - 17mm 1 - 15mm 1 - 13mm

I have a CR125R 2007, modified for tight technical terrain I weight 80kg without gear Front spring is 0.46 according to RaceTech spring calculator (by putting CRF250RX 2018 as a reference with the showa 49mm) I like stiff suspension but at the moment

Thanks for the reply mate but i think you’re wrong with the honing stuff It worth checking but As much as i know 2 smokers shouldn’t be honed no matter what, especially those with nikasil plating

I don’t think so But here’s some more photos, all these where taken long time ago, the bike is running new piston since then for about 40 hours. It is just starting to feel like little slower and lacking compression that was one of the triggers to this

Ok, 20-30 hours will be from now on What about the exhaust bridge? Should I do something with it? In the photos stock vs big bore, you can see the difference

It is make sense that it comes from the exhaust bridge becaus this point located just in front of it This is exactly what i asked initially Maybe should I sand it little with fine sand paper 1500+? or maybe even diamond paper?

Well this is Eric Gorr kit... I wanted my CR to be a gnarly weapon and he did very good job with it My bike fells very good and have lot of torque from idle, too bad he have no double ring set up

If so, why the surface of the piston that come in touch with the piston bridge seems to get more friction It can’t reduce compression and piston “life”?

How many “too many hours”? This piston was taken off after 68 hours as for preventative maintenance, not because of lack of performance. The service manual says every 7.5 hours if i am not wrong but it refers to pro guy that race and taking a factor ... more »

Did you check if you can put KYB sss internals in Showa TAC forks first? Is this conversion can work?
