  1. Mother $£÷,#;!? $**=,=£$,=*[~■|¡¤♢•¡~♤●♤•¿☆. Damn it! Come across any others let me know!
  2. Tried to pm. Please contact me i had some questions.on the works shocks.
  3. My bad I meant to say I would like to ride 3-4 times a month. I've seen a set of used works but they are 275 and set up for 175-225 lb. By time I get them and I would put money all used shocks will need rebuilt (it seems all my buddies that bought used shocks were all garbage), then by time.they are re-sprung and properly set up I will have 500 in them.if.not more. And they aren't new. I see no real good way around not getting.the elkas. I'll just have to find more time.to ride. My set up now is definately hit. Srock.shit on +2 arms. I ride.in Wellsville ohio and it is a rutted out, washed out, rocky, boulder filled disaster. My stock shit throws me all over the place. I mean it's rideable but I don't think I should be having to fight my ride.
  4. Ok I'm still in turmoil. Don't nail me to the cross here, but can anybody share the 450 shock experience. I want to get the elkas, but it's hard to see spending that dough on a bike I have ridden 5 times the past 3 years. I'm trying to ride more but it seems like if I don't ride that much y spend a grand for shocks. I want better than stock but don't know.if I need bad ass.
  5. Ok stuttering is rich. Do you know what your pilot is? With pipes you are going to need at least a 27.5 and quite possibly 30. My ported 4 mil on race gas is a 32.5 and will pull tree stumps out. My girls bike is a stock everything but pipes and it needs a 30 pilot. It odd because I have an air box on too, but it passed a leakdown with no drop. Some bikes are just different and want what they want. The only way you are going to tell is to experiment. A 300 main you might be slightly rich with a stock.port. is it ported or spacer plate? Actually no I think with pods u might be there or possibly need more. Don't run new plugs when jetting. It will take a hot while.to get.color. with your old plugs the color will change quick especially if you are lean. I would run the air screws in and see where your bottom goes, then either run an air box or get some duct tape and tape half the open box off and see if it runs better. That will tell you if you are rich or lean. Then check plug. Start getting a good color.on.the porcelain and a little oil around the bottom thread base and do a plug chop.
  6. What gave you the indication it was rich on the bottom?
  7. A bog is lean. If it's stuttering it's rich. So u were lean before and switched to pods that's why you are super lean. What is your pilot? Is it bogging low, mid, high? If that compression is right than the motor is shot. How did it run before u switched the pods?
  8. I'm intermediate. I'm 6'3" 330 lbs though. Hard decision. Hell the stage 1 elkas are 599, so then 200 you got 800 in it and have stage 1 with no adjustments. 200 more I can get a set up piggyback set up for the front. It just blows they are so much. I have to hook my girl up for coming back home. It sounds lile.stage 3 is the only way to go. A nice set of rezzi fronts will cost 750. Just for sake, has anybody heard of the gt suspension from maultech? They look nice but no adjustment unless again in the 750 range.
  9. I mean I'm not a hardcore rider or racer by any means. Am I going to notice a money's worth difference from stock if I get the kit with the elka rear? I mean if you have to be racing to notice how it performs it's not needed by me. But if it makes the whole bike handle like a beast than I'm down.
  10. I've been looking for front shocks for my bike. I really don't want to spend a testicle but want a good ride. I've seen the works steeler at, the elka stage 1 and gt suspension around 500.for the front. On ebay they have the elka stage 3 with all 3 shocks for 999. Am I going to notice.the rear beating me.after I get the fronts. I would hate to get just the fronts and then need the rear and have to spend more than the deal package. Anybody with suggestions. I ride about 3-4 times a month and in rocky rutted terrain to xl and trails. Thanks
