[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 216333, member: 3959"] Now that it is cooling down a bit I am more inclined to spend some time in the garage. I have everything I need to rebuild the KXF except the $450.00 to have the head done at MX Time. (Maybe I should find a less expensive alternative to get it done quicker.) I'm not super racy at the track so I know I'm not beating the WR too badly, but it's what I have so I make do with it. In my mind I think it's good for me, much like the way I think learning to play on a shitty guitar with strings a mile off the fretboard is good for a person; learn on that and you can play anything, and when you get on a nice guitar its just that much easier. I'm trying to apply that analogy to my riding; learn on my big ol' heavy WR, and everything will be easier when I get on the 60-70 lb. lighter KXF. The head shake is really my main concern cuz it's happened right when I land, and by all rights I should have crashed a couple times already because of it. I'll see how the new fork position feels this coming weekend. As far as the bottoming, I'll try Dans suggestions first. Messing with the clickers is beyond my expertise at the moment. Or I guess I could just grow a pair and stay in the throttle a little longer. I'm pretty confident my corner exit speed is fast enough to clear those jumps... Thank you all for the replies. [/QUOTE]
