Hoblick

thats the plan! unfortunately the house we were looking at is under contract now so back to the drawing board.

thats not gonna happen in this case. we have an offer in on a house already

im spooning on some BT003RS tires and calling it a day

we have been busting our ass getting out house ready for sale. i redid the cabinets and countertops with the rustoleum transformation kits, new hardware on the cabinets, and finally installed my over the range microwave. accomplished all of this within a week with limited time. mostly a little before work and a little when i got home at night. also did ALOT of other stuff, but its just not interesting enough to post up. here is an in the proceess pic. the cabinets where painted with a brown latex previously, and we had to strip that off, before we began with the rustoleum. so this pic has the paint stripper applied and half way us getting the old paint off and an after of sorts. still have to wait for the countertops to fully cure, and then touch up a little paint on the walls in certain areas. lighting is a little low, but you get the idea. ill get a better pic when there is some light coming through the window. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/6167DA8E-0950-4AC8-9125-0CD9C5339160-2046-000000E799102A32_zpse0e96e7a.jpg' alt='6167DA8E-0950-4AC8-9125-0CD9C5339160-2046-000000E799102A32_zpse0e96e7a.jpg'>

Most bikes are undersprung from the factory. I think they think anyone who buys them are gonna be in race trim of under 150lbs lol. Get the sag close, go ride it and see what ya think. It may not be spot on, but if its close you may be happy with it. If not, time for new springs! And might as well put some ohlins valves in it while your in there

Youd be suprised on how light the springs are. My multistrada is undersprung. My preload is maxed on the forks, and the shock im cranked up but still have some room to play. But new springs would be a big help, im just lazy and work on other peoples stuff, and never domy own. But sounds like your doing it right. Check the monster forums and see what those folks have to say

if you need more help, i can lend a hand. not in the immediate future, but maybe in a week.

forget about the free sag, till you get static sag done. measure the static sag (topped out to rider sag). get that measurement where it needs to be. once it sets, then go check the topped out to no rider (free sag) if the measurement isnt where it needs to be then youll be able to determine if the free sag (topped out to no rider) is out or not. you can +/_ a few mm and be fine. thats how it works. if the number is smaller than it should be, then you know the spring is to hard. if its more, then the spring is to soft. but if you can accomplish static sag (topped out to rider) with the given spring without the preload being cranked all the way in or all the way out, you should be within the range of the spring. the closer you get to being cranked in or out, the worse the free sag will be out of wack. so my suggestion. measure topped out, then measure rider sag. get to your magic number. do front and rear. then go back and measure your static sag and see where your at. free sag should be between 5 - 10 mm. so lets just say you have a 125mm measurement topped out. and say you get your static sag set to 35mm your measurement then with you on it would be 95mm so then free sag measurement would need to be between 115 - 120mm.. that would put your free sag in the right range.

You should be aiming for 30mm-35mm sag You teally need another person. You on bike feet on pegs in riding position. Some steadying bike. Another taking measurements. Also make sure when you do your initial measurement you get wheels off the ground.

Here is before i hit it with some cleaner wax

Wanted to cleanup and make shiny again the plastics on my 07 CRF100. Found a write up online and gave it a shot. Wash plastics downwith dawm soap Use 0000 steel wool and water/soap and go over all plastics. Dey thoroughly Then take some hollowat house quick shine floor finish (available at walmart). And apply with a cloth. I applied 9 coats, waited about 2 min between each coat. After final coat let dry for 40min. Then use a cleaner wax and rub out the plastics, then buff away residue with clean towel. Bling bling! Ill post some before and after shots once i getdone waxing them.
