I'm pretty sure American Star a arms, steering stems and swingers are made by Fireball. I bought all three 4 seasons ago. Very happy with fitment and performance.

J6 did mine. Was extremely pleased. Think it was just under $300 for a full rebuild.

Not too impressed with Elka. Went stage 4 when they had the promo. My revalved, resprung by J6 OEM rear performed far superior to the Elka in jumps, whoops, traction control, g-outs ect. We'll see when it comes back from being evaluated at the factory...

Thought that bike was going to be a duner? Why you going OOF's?

So far I'm pretty disappointed. We'll see when I get it back from them. I have a lot of experience tuning suspension and I've gone through all their hoops and tried all their suggestions and now they want it back to check it out. For $275 that J6 rebuild is pretty dam good.

I'm finding that my resprung, revalved OEM rear done by J6 performs way better than this stage 4 rear I got when they had the promo going on.

Right side sucking tranny oil into the cylinder is likely a crank seal. Had it happen a few months ago. Cases have to be split and resealed.

There has been a lot of V4 reeds that have been coming defective. Buddy just threw them on his CR250 and he could not get the thing to run worth a shit. Tried everything and finally pulled the cage out. Had already cracked. Called Moto T and they sent him out a new set, said they had been getting a bunch of calls. Might not be your prob but don't chase your tail too long before you check them.

With the +2+1 you need about another 1" on both sides in the rear for optimum stance for handling. I'm about your weight and a few inches taller. Having to send my stage 4's back. Shit's way off.

Count me in Ricardo!
