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)

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.

Nice, the CF looks awesome and it doesn't get hot.

Why did you sell it though?

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