[QUOTE="FordHankJr88, post: 29225, member: 528"] after i had messed around with my clickers and spanner a good bit, i went to pick my bike up to place it back down and have it sit at the top of its stroke so i could measure the static sag, and i noticed the swing arm would continue moving down after the suspension was done moving, so i took a good look at the linkage. Turns out the bushing where the linkage attaches to the shock wasn't even there. I took the linkage apart, the hole where the bushing was supposed to be was almost all the way broken through. . . probably about 3 or so more rides and the linkage would have broken right through and sent me for a wild ride. I bought a new bearing and bushing kit and was going to get a new arm thats inbetween the dog bones (i need one or it will break through really soon) so i called the dealer and they wanted 173 dollars for the piece :shocked:. I was lucky enough to find one on ebay for 49 dollars plus 12 dollar shipping that needs to rebuilt off of a 99 kx125. I bought that now just waiting for it to ship (should get here around wensday or thursday), ill let ya know how that helps the suspenison, should help a ton! Ill take some pictures or make a video some time soon since i did a pretty crappy job exlaining it :P [/QUOTE]
