RE: Race Tech anyone??

["Paul Steinbacher" <psteinbacher@xxxxxxxxx>]

Erik,
No, I did not know about Blackmans, thanks. I would probably elect to do the
forks myself though. There is not a whole log going on in there that would
cause concern. I did the race tech setup on the cartridge forks on my
Superhawk and have played with forks for most of my MC career. I got the
preload/sag set up on the Penske as soon as I put it on. You could be right
about front end needing fresh fluid but it was done at 12,000 check. Just
seemed strange how I started to notice it after getting the shock on.

Hi Paul: Nope 00's have the same forks ( damping rods) I spoke again at
length with Race Tech and The front forks total parts cost is $240.00 for
springs and the gold valves. Interesting though that you discussed preload/
sag in your other post I found on my K12 with the Ohlins that sag was
critical in getting all the performance I'd paid for! Also if you feel the
front end is now harsh my bet is that the springs or oil are about beat..
you do have how many miles on the bike :-)) Also since you are kinda of
local, Blackmans has a Racetech certified tech there who has been to all of
their schools. So for about $400.00 I can get the whole front end done while
I wait! I'd like to be able to do it my self but I really don't have the
tools or the experience to rebuild forks.. install a shock yes, rebuild
forks no way!
