15w oil in front end

[darrsi]

Bit rude of me, sorry about that, but

That's cool, straight talking i can deal with  :lol

[darrsi]

Actually, the words Honest and Opinion should not go together.
Who is to say anyone's Opinion is Honest as it is just an Opinion, a Humble Opinion is good to go. and of course has value.


But that is all it is, an Opinion, and it is not absolute in any way, therefore should not be called Honest.
Saying my Honest Opinion is claiming the the moral high ground and saying I am right, but lets not get pedantic about words.  :lol

Would you prefer a dishonest opinion though?


Technically that would give someone a free pass to say all sorts of shite.......but back it up with "Only joking."  :rollin

Hi


Re the fork mod- you mentioned the linear rate spring would be a pretty decent improvement on the original springs- can you send a link to a suitable model of spring for this? I am 75kg in my birthday suit so probably 85kg or so loaded up with gear.


The other thing is to make sure that these springs are compatible with the YSS emulators that MandP sell so if I want to go down that route in the future then I can!


Thanks in advance!

FFS darrsi leave it mate, this could go on and on you bitch me I bitch you back and have a pop at everything each other says, and it never ends.
But I will just add, as stated earlier if it is an Opinion it is neither honest or dishonest, it can be a genuine Opinion, a firmly held Opinion, or humble Opinion, but that does not make it honest or right, but something that someone has thought through and chosen to believe, and a lot of us believe a lot of stuff that just is not true.

Under that tough exterior of yours I believe that there is a genuine kind hearted, thoughtful man.
But then I rethink the last statement above about us believing stuff that isn't true, and come to a firmly held Opinion that you are just a twat.  :eek

[size=1em]Hi Hope,[/size]
[size=1em]You are about the same weight as me. I went for these spring on the advice of a serial suspension modder on here. The advice was excellent.[/size]
[size=1em]There is also a post going on in here at the moment that might be heplfhul I will try and post a link to it. I promise I will not do to you what a mate did to me saying he was posting a link to a site that was selling Pergeot mirrors off cheaply, my Mrs was after one for her car, I like an idiot just clicked on the link he sent, Mrs sat beside me to arrive on the foulest porn site you could imagine, I now know what scat is  :eek [/size]

Do worry that the add say Suzuki SV650 1999-2002 springs, they fit just fine.
They are in fact just a little shorter but this difference can be made up by adding a few large diameter penny washers to the top tubular spacer in the forks.

"...it never ends..."


"...But i will just add..."  :rolleyes


The Chuckle Brothers were right, two's company.......  :rollin

[matt7chunk]

Think we need a rename on this thread ""Tommy v darrsi The bitch off""  :lol


15w going in my forks next weekend and hoping to get linear springs matched to my weight when I have the funds,


When changing springs will the damper rods be ok or should I do the emulator mod at same time ?

[tommyardin]

The is a no animosity between darrsi and me, we just hold differing opinions, and that is OK, but his are wrong and mine are always right, and to that end I just have to point that out to him sometime as say

[tommyardin]

Ahh! bless him he is OK really.  :lol  :lol  :lol 

[matt7chunk]

Some might say a love hate relationship.

new event for the spring meet

[tommyardin]

LOL!  I love the crack, I worked on the building sites most of my life and since I retired 3 years ago it is the crack with the lads that I miss more than anything, its the wind up and the none stop piss take that was so good.

I loved them lads like brothers, I still keep up to date with some, like my mate Wildplumb, but I really do miss the none stop wind up, keep on taking the piss right up to the point a little red light almost flashes in the middle of a bloke forehead than stop before he kills you, lol then say to him about half an hour afterwards 'You alright mate you seen a bit quiet'
lol then take 3 steps backwards rapidly. :lol

[tommyardin]

I'm sure darrsi is fine.














:rolleyes

[darrsi]

I'll survive, as you say it's just banter, although still not sure why i'm being persecuted for not ever knowing something to happen, which if you read back is all i said?  :lol

[Disorderlypunk]

who doesnt love a bit of wind up banter
and then i go and instigate it some more with celebrity deathmatch lol
the winding up is one of the main things i miss from the building sites

Not a native English speaker, but the dictionary says that an opinion can be honest:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/diction...ish/honest

Honest as saying what you really do think (believe). My honest opinion is that the Earth is not flat, but I've never traveled a full circle so I could be wrong. Possibly, but not probably.

As for the topic, I agree with your first post about using the correct rate (best not progressive) springs, appropriate valves and oil viscosity.

I've put some steel inserts between the preload adjusters and FZS's standard springs, and added some more viscous oil, getting a bit better handling on the road and the track. At least for my taste. It's far from an optimal, but a rather cheap fix (or "fix", depending on one's criteria).

I also agree that using an oil that is (way) too viscous can cause problems.

P.S. If you're that much into Darrsi, why not ask her for a drink, that's what grown ups do.  :rollin

Thank you Slanlinar for your words of wisdom, your not darrsi's brother of dad are you????? just asking. (Let me see if I can get that little red light flashing)

Is an opinion the same as a choice then, I can choose not to like something and then give an opinion on it but is not absolute or the truth in anyway, it is just an Opinion that belongs to me, and I may strongly hold to it, but that does not make it fact or the truth.

Anyway thank you Slaninar for adding your Opinion, I feel you may have the same effect as a stick wiggling about in a hornets nest, but you may not agree, but that is your Op...............

Here we go again. 

PS: I agree about the world being flat if it was round like some are saying the water would all run off, I don't know! Some people have not thought that one through. :lol

You can define opinion whichever way you like. However, when talking/discussing with other people, it helps if you use the terms everybody understands, so you are certain to be talking about the same thing. A common example from my bicycle wrenching practice is when someone says the bike won't go to the 2nd gear. I need to confirm what the 2nd gear is. Which combination of the (2 or 3) front chainrings and (5 to 12) rear chainrings they consider to be the 2nd gear, before trying to determine the problem.

Same goes for opinion. Look it up in a dictionary, and you can be fairly certain that is what the other discussion participants use when saying "my opinion" (honest, or not).
So while opinion has it's limits (depending on one's knowledge and experience, objectiveness, etc.), using the word "honest" can be perfectly correct. As a way to say you really believe what you're saying (for what that's worth, again, depending on one's knowledge etc...). It could also be used as a demagogy instrument, trying to convince people to take your point of view (I know a lot more such "tricks" in Serbian, so can't think of another good English example - but almost any politician's speech will do) though I don't think it's the case with Darrsi's posts here.

I agree. I think the same for your posts following your first one (which is very good IMO) in this topic.

Yes. I was amazed in how many details.    :rollin
