I'm pretty sure i already know how, i just want to make sure.

(Loosen perches and turn spring so that it decompresses to lower vehicle)

Also make sure you measure them so they sit equally. Don't guesstimate!!

This is basically the same thing, just a different company's coil.

Probably nothing compared to what Sauce is used to though
Been at work since 5 am yesterday and still not done. I had a chance to get 5 hours of sleep this morning from 6 to 11 but my phone rang 6 times so I ended up with about 3 hours split into 2 periods.

Lulz. It's the new Ninja. 1400

It is a bit ugly though, the more power, the bigger and uglier they get. I think 1000 is just fine.

Oh, I don't know too much about them. And yes, 600 is plenty. My brother had a 600 with the (shorter?) sprockets? The gears were much shorter. It'd do a wheelie on almost every gear. Scurry shiet right thur.

Quit being a pussy and just lower them all the way. Then you won't have to adjust anymore.
