Dirt Bikes and Tundra

I just purchased the MX Tech spring conversion kit for the forks and I just discoved that my shock seal is blown. So I'll be sending that out to MX Tech for a rebuild and probably revalve.

Hope you like your revalve!

 

You are NOT gonna miss those air forks I can promise you that!

 

Sand whoops @ WW Ranch this AM.

 

Not exactly a dirt bike, but here's my '84 R80ST...

I've had nothing but problems out of the air forks. They ruined my trip to Moab last year. I was so beat up that I was sore for a week after I got back.

 

Have you looked into Kreft moto? They could help you.

EDIT: Oh my bad you got rid of them

 

Everyone I know had them for one season and 1 season only.

 

I did look into Kreft last winter but didn't want to pony up the money at the time (this was prior to me knowing I had an issue). Then I discovered that air was leaking out of the air shock into the outer chamber making the fork extremely stiff. Replaced the shaft seal and continued battling air leaking out of the air shock. Thats why I'm doing the spring conversion kit. I don't want any more pressurized air in my forks period.

 

I only have about 4 hours on mine, so far I love them. Is that bc they leak/fail or preference?

 

No one I know was truely able to find a set up that worked. To soft. To hard. They all struggled.

 

Yeah sounds like a nightmare. A couple of friends of mine have the Kreft forks and they have been great for them.

 

Gotcha. Thanks for the scoop!

 

That's why I serviced and revalved mine shock seal was leaking. Im stoked new set up should be sweet. My boy Josh over at AEO powersports set me up.

 

I like the air fork. Just takes time finding right air pressure and getting the clickers dialed in once have a pressure you like

 

Heading to Moab again in ten days. If any of you will be down there, hit me up.

 

Just like BBQing, it's always the season... haha

 

I wish I could make it. Going to go in April. Hope you have a blast. How often do you make it down there?

 

Nice! Have fun! We go down at least twice a year. We also make a five day trip to a secret spot in Idaho yearly.

 

Have you ever gone riding in the Wyoming Range? Its one of the few places in Wyoming that actually has dedicated single track trails and I plan on going once or twice this year. I would not be opposed to doing a group ride/trip sometime if I could have some advanced notice. I love Moab and know there are a lot of other great places in Utah to ride. Its a bit of a hike for me but I'd love to try and make it happen.

 

The spring conversion has begun.

 

Gonna be nice setup!

 

After all the money I just spent it'd better be! Lol Got the one done tonight, will finish the other one tomorrow. Shipped the shock off to MX Tech and the ECU to Blais Racing. It should be a brand new bike this year.

 

Have you ridden your bike with the revalved suspension yet?

 

Yup took it out Saturday. Its awesome! I rode some desert that I was pretty familiar with to get a good comparison to stock. And holy shit night and day man AEO knocked it out of the park, REP suspension is what they call their suspension division i guess you could call it and the main guy Mark Johnson i believe is his name work for WP for a long time. But anyway I love how my bike is working now. Really plush, stays up in the stroke just great all around. I was able to carry more speed confidently through sections that I was slowing down on with the stock setup. Didn't even change the clickers all the recommended settings and air pressure they gave me worked perfect. I'll get it out again this weekend may do some moto if my buddy come to town if not just get some more desert riding in. Sorry for the rant im just really stoked with my setup. Forgot to add that we added the bladder kit setup on the shock reservoir.

 

Slowly coming back together.

New rear sprocket added two teeth. Hopefully that won't bite me with the ECU re-flash. Some guys dropped a tooth after having it done.

 

The Supersprox are awesome. Just bought another to replace mine (after having it on about 9-10 years) on my 125.

 

Dirt Tricks have the BEST sprockets, hands down!
