I will end with this and then ill not draw anymore into the subject, i am not arguing just stating facts... Of course you voiced the right of your opinion but to your own self admittance you are not a professional in the industry and you tried to do your own work and It sounds like it did not...

As the title suggests, how far do you really need to go..? I for one am guilty on a large scale of over thinking everything, it is just how my brain works, part of that is because I am an engineer I only have to strip a shock like the Showa Balance Free shock I did on Monday and instantly I...

I Have no idea why you can not see the picture sorry. I assume that you are an engineer or you work professionaly in the industry based upon your welcome post on this forum? With the deepest respect I am not quite sure where you are trying to go with your post on this page, if you are not...

Generically all loctite has the same breakaway temperature, the tube clamps we use have a width of 2ft, so there is plenty of breakaway torque. There is a little trick that a few of us use to help the process, i generally am of the mantra the turtle beats the hare when removing tubes, i have...

I have personally never had any issues with removing tubes and have lost count how many I have swapped or removed for coatings, nor has any other suspension guy that I know. We certainly do not heat the foot though, and it does not take as much heat as what you believe, but you do need adequate...

If somebody is removing stanchions and mauling threads A) They are not using the right tools and process B) They have no clue what they are doing and they should not attempt to do the task! Removing stanchions DOES NOT maul the threads!!! Kashima is used in Factory MX Fork slide tubes and...

Yes, PVD is the proper name for the coatings and Titanium Nitride is the coating used on forks and is not the DLC (Diamond like coating) as found on the ZX10R fork etc although I do offer the DLC Coating but it is more expensive. A link to the process can be found here What is PVD Coating &...

The M1000RR comes with the same 45mm Marzocchi fork, no better suspension here.

That is true for the DDC, I have seen the press release pictures (the old ddc did not use a traditional valve/shim design and could not be revalved). But not for the non-DDC which is what I removed from the forks there is no way the cartridge can be disassembled from first impressions. The...

I will be back working as a Crew Chief with a SS1000 Team this season in BSB (i've been a motorsport engineer since 2007), im just getting my head around the MCRK BWM Motoradd software. Just had a pair of forks in from one of the new 2020 team bikes today, it looks like the stock internals (non...

Stanchions are being TiN coated in Charcoal Black and the fork feet are being Ceracoated in Satin black.

what have you been told ref Spain, a friend of mine who lives there said they are in national curfew aka lockdown until May. Also have yet to see how the TDO's are handling the carnett costs and small print but as we are in lockdown and we cant go anywhere I guess til they hit the border with...

There is NO trade off, a shorter shock does not relate to lost travel. Yes i personally use Motospec as do most of the BSB Engineers, I have tried the others and this is the most in depth chassis software programme I have dealt with yet. 20MM Of travel will not be lost, the new design of...

Lets dispell some myths about linkages, An aftermarket swingarm for the most part will have its own linkage because of the difference in physical makeup of the arm and an aftermarket linkage for a stock swingarm will be designed to provide a different rate, that basically sums it up. Sportbikes...

Fork travel is 120mm, so from topped out to bottom out the stroke that will need recording from the potentiometer is 120mm. A 150mm Pot will work fine on any sportsbike fork as 130mm is the max stroke on a superbike. These are generic sensors used in data analysis systems on many vehicles...

I've yet to have a new gen in, the older bikes with DDC cant be lowered properly because the damping cartidge is sealed and the rear damping assy is peened in situ. The new gen DDC is supposed to be fully servicable and traditional valving, which means it can be properly stripped down so...

I was Liam Delves Crew Chief last season, he paid 45K for a fully supported stock 600 ride. New team this year, Crew Chief for one of the Stock BMW teams, not sure yet how much our riders are paying. The season still feels a million miles away with covid still plaguing the world.
