Hi, I'm not writing much here but been around for a long time...but now some words:
 
I have done three things with my bike this summer that have made it better than before.
 
1:
The front fork have always been a week part on the max (mine is 87 mod). Mine have always been to soft. With 10/20 grade oil (Old grade I think was 5/10. Original I don't know.), 0.5 litres in each leg and max air pressure (15 psi) made the fork kinda good. Better performance on bad road and nice when two on the bike (with ex. hard breaking).
 
2:
"Stage 7". I must say, mine bike has never been a hard starter or stumbled when driving from sea level and up in the mountain (I live in Norway). But the three hours it took me to mount the "stage 7" was worth the money. I can't come up with one bad thing with this kit. Strong from 3000 and up (now I can almost decide when I want to turn on and off the oil lamp :-) ). For those that think about buying a kit: DJ175, needle position: two down from the top, keep v-boost fully open all time (not use the pipes) for sync possebility. Exhaust: I have Laser Pro Stock. Never "Dynoed", but the difference was so big that I don't need to. It run's so smooth, and I'm happy.
 
3:
Rear tyre: Metzeler 880: 180/80-15. No mods, just mount as usual. Some whould probably say that the profile is wrong and it just won't work. But honestly, I never had a better tyre. Worth trying anyway.
 
These three "mods" have made by bike so much better that all I regret is that I didn't do it before.
 
Regards Stian
