The STIC vastly improves low end in my experience, makes the bike run super clean and strong, but smooth strong. As smooth and linear in not better than my TPI did but a whole heap more power. Bloody things is warp speed when revved out now. Would make ... more »

it should have .114 or .115 engraved into it

.114

run a 48 and 46 spring for the 250

That FC looks sick. Hope the FE300's look like them. The Ktm graphics guy must of knocked off at 2pm, looks half finished

I knew it was close to that. If you run your oil that low make sure you change it a lot more frequent

trax shock are not much of an improvement over standard. is bmore economic ways to get a better shock. Puts flame suit on waiting for people who want to justify their trax shock cost to tell me i'm wrong

You do realise the manual states 220ml + 40/-20ml ? running risk using such low oil level

You can do KYB conversion to CC fork relatively easy, all you need to do it rethread the lug for the KYB rebound bolt. Xplor, 4CS, AER conversion all require a clamped adaptor to be used which makes the rebound bolt poke out. I have done a heap and there ... more »

Awesome build mate

I haven't measured it. You can tell just looking at the seal design and feeling the seal material it will be more slippery, even more so than the 18's

yes I use the SKF kit, i also use an Ohlins grease with a bit of Ohlins oil. I also got my inner tubes kashima coated, stiction is gone now

Nothing wrong with AER forks. They work fantastic

Andy, at 40hrs there will be broken springs. When the springs break you lose all rebound damping. MX use will see that 40hrs drop to 15-20hrs. Springs are only around $5 each so extra $25 on top of service which i'm not sure if shops charge more for ... more »

Trax require a lot of maintenance, expect to have it apart every 40hrs at most to replace the little springs. Having had a trax before I didn't feel the performance justified the expense. For my next bike I chose to mod the stock shock. DLC, Kashima,
