The millimeter-level precision of the internal valving and shim stack is practically bulletproof, obliterating the typical fade you see during aggressive riding. I’ve spent countless late nights wrenching on suspension setups to fight the terror of thermal drift, where fluid viscosity breaks down and ruins your rebound. Nitron engineered this billet aluminum masterpiece with a massive remote reservoir to manage heat soak perfectly.
Dialing in the sag and high-speed compression transformed the Fazer's heavy rear end into a precision scalpel. The fluid dynamics here keep the shock stroke buttery smooth even when pushed to absolute thermal limits.
I know some of you are running similar high-end suspension architectures on your heavy sport-tourers. So I have to ask the hardcore tuners here: when you’re pushing big miles and the exhaust temperature starts creeping into the aluminum linkages, how do you guys perfectly dial in the settings for this heat soak issue?

The bike runs well gets good spark etc but after running for a little while the bike starts bogging before cutting off completely and not starting for another little while. During this I’ve checked the height of fuel in the float bowl and it seems to drain almost completely and doesn’t refill so I thought it would be stuck float valves but after taking the carbs off and looking all seems good. The pump primes as normal and fuel can get through the system to the carbs but the float bowls just don’t fill up. The pump primes okay, the tank breather is ok, it’s had a new filter since when I first had a fuelling issue I replaced it and the fuel pump which worked for a little while. I also switched out the side stand switch and relay which when tested were faulty but the issue still seems to be there.

I’m thinking maybe I didn’t properly check the tubes that join the carbs together and there’s a blockage there before the float valves but does anyone have any advice, thoughts or ideas on where I should look next.

Thanks]]>

I have a notchy headstock and need to replace the bearings.

Has anyone had any good feedback from the Pyramid ones for sale on the bay?

I'm not too worried about the bearing themselves, but more whether the seals are the same design as Yamaha OEM.

Thanks in advance]]>

Can I ask all of you when you have a sec, to check some of your old and new posts (old and new) that have attached images, they will be smaller (I set max dimensions to 1500*900), but they should not be corrupted or broken.

When I get around to doing the video files, I will ask for the same again etc.

When we migrated from the old SMF forum to the new MyBB forum, it resulted in a number of cleanup tasks. Last night @9pm I attempted to merge two permissions groups and because this had to be done manually, it didn't complete as intended and broke stuff. The end result was I had to do a restore from backup.

If anyone of posted anything after 5pm yesterday, these posts/msgs are no longer available unfortunately. 

Apologies.

So I have noticed a flaw in the way the forum software handles replies. The reply button is quoting the post of pm of the person your replying too, instead of simply replying.

So until I find a fix for this annoyance/bug, I am requesting everyone to - 

• please delete the quote entirely from your reply before typing.
  
• or if want some part of the previous post, please edit the quote so it contains only the bare bones of the previous message.
  

This will alleviate the "green wall of quote" SPAM I am seeing in most threads at the moment.

many thanks

- Someone else takes over the hosting and domain costs in its entirety.

New one stopped working after about one year.
My friend's boss had his die also.

Grey ones both.

Anyone else experienced this?

(I bought mine from German Amazon, so no use in trying to get a warranty - in Serbia, at that time, no one was importing them)
