High Pressure radiator cap because it runs hot during the Texas summers
Pro Circuit Clutch Cover
Cycra front rotor guard
Gold MX rain chain with 1 tooth higher in the rear.
I also got the suspension pretty dialed in for a stock bike. Definitely not the worst stuff I've ever ridden. I only get to ride every couple weeks because of school but its my favorite moto bike i've ever owned.
The Shop
I'm trying to find a 2008+ CRF master cylinder to get my front brake better. I have a 270 rotor, new pads, fresh bleed, but its just not good. So i found this on ebay.. LINK And obviously it looks like a knock off. But will it do the job? For $16 do i try it?
I found a $50 CRF master Cylinder and it is much better than the Stock Cylinder. The problem I'm having is the lever is kind of long and i run twinwalls so i dont have very good leverage on the lever because I'm pulling on the inside of the lever. Anyone have some tips to fix this?
Hard to believe that I was able to pick these up as a broke kid, but I think I got the deal of the century.
I traded this used FMF Powercore 4 and Powerbomb for this full setup from a guy in New York.
After riding some offroad races with the air forks, it just wasn't going to work.
Pretty excited to get these forks Valved and Sprung and ready to rip! I'm slowing getting ready for the Perry Mountain 24 Hour Challenge in June in the Ironman class on this bike. The Ohlins is going to help a ton for that! Obviously added the oversized tank and handguards. And now that I traded my FMF I'll go back to the Stock exhaust. I realzied that I hated the way the bike rode with that FMF on though. Way to snappy and loud. Anyone else feel the same way?
And yes, the bike has held up well. Unfortunately I don’t have a ton of time to ride due to school, but I spend my free time cleaning and taking care of parts.
Little sneak peak for anyone that likes Suzuki’s with Ohlin’s.
Here’s something I don’t like much. The bottom shock bolt-nut is just a little short. It doesn’t look like the lock ring on the nut is even far enough on to lock. The stock shock has a divet for the bolt to sink just a little bit closer so there are more threads sticking out for the nut to go on. Do y’all think this is okay?
And the bling factor isn’t too bad either🤩
Pit Row
Cheapo Headlight
Just waiting on a set of weatherpack connectors from amazon to tie it all together, but i tested the light and it runs good so im happy.
The crappy cheapo headlight broke and I decided on going with the Acerbis Elba 2 because I really like the vintage look. Plus it’s much more sturdy. I moved my ecu to above the transmission because it’s too close to the headlight to make it fit. It’s worked well so far. No problems yet.
The ohlins failed at an enduro and I actually lost my dust seal mid test and dumped oil everywhere. I finally figured out after awhile that the fork guard was pulling the blue slider down and eventually yanked the dust seal down, so I trimmed the plastic to keep that from happening again. After a race this past weekend, I realized this is a killer off-road bike and really stable. Hoping to do the shady burro enduro in Colorado in august if I’m off the ground in my professional life.
