KYBs are the answer for upgrades.

Hey just wanted to push a little positive feedback towards you all....thanks for all the help, answers to stupid questions and basically giving me a direction to go when I have run into problems.. On the distribution side thanks for excellent customer service and stepping up. I like this forum and its people great group. Chris.

Even though I have added to some of the negative feedback, I think this forum is definitely the best I have been on. I was able to learn about/ fix problems without the usual unhelpful comments that you get on other forums.

Other than that it's been a superb bike. I broke the 400 hour mark with little other than minor maintenance.

Drew Smith at WER revalved my 45s and I really like them now. However, I'm sure if I had the chance to swap them out for some 48mm that I would jump on that.

My 45s are very good technical rock forks now, spikes and harshness are not the problem. Its just the scope of performance is not there compared to a modern CC fork. The gap between sand and rock courses was always impossible to cover with one setup, not now. I got used to riding a much stiffer, more confidence inspiring setup and I will not go back.

I respect Ford for not taking bailout $$, and the F150 was my 2nd choice.

This is why I like ford.. not the fondest of the product but the business backbone yes. Being an auto tech for many years I dont want to get in the debate about ford/chevy/toyota/nissan. Lets just put it this way.. you will never see a nissan in my driveway. I've tried to deal with corporate on warranty issues before. Toyota is not far off from them. Ford and chrysler are the easiest(not easy by any stretch but easier than the others) to contact and deal with corporate about issues and getting things resolved.

I'm really interested in the new sherco and beta 4 strokes. Now that I've been on this stupid pumpkin 450 I'm getting spoiled leaving the house and running 6 miles into town and then over to the trail head.. I haven't had a working trailer in 4 years. And I can hit the outdoor deck at MollieMaguires in Jt for a cold Yuengling on the way home from the trail. Spoiled,, well if it handled I would say yes..

I'm soon to have a GG yard sale, everything must go. Spares after or with bikes though. Stay tuned. I want a '14 Beta 250 if I can get it with Zoke 48s. I found a totally done up YZ250 with 60hrs on it for a good price I could pick up as well for a temp bike, and sell easy later.

Thats sad to hear. Id understand if you dont want to share, but would you care to share your reasons?

I love my 45's and there's NO WAY I would put kyb's up front
