3 months since the last post..

I took Motorangs advice and upgraded the carrier a bit, adding the connection tube to the back. Also another connection point to the passenger footpeg mount via a hose clamp. All together it seems really nice and sturdy now, it should be perfect to fit the Kriega OS ...

Re: Mods and upgrades for a 55W

Yes for the front I got the Wirth progressive springs(just because Kedo didn't have YSS springs for 1VJ).

Re: Mods and upgrades for a 55W

Installation was very straight forward, only the rear shock required some extra work(removing the ...

Re: Choke Plunger Recommendations

Been there with my 1VJ and indeed the price for this knob is outright criminal. Since I had issues with the carb as well I decided to buy a 2KF carb which had the knob attached and left me a spare carb in case something breaks down.

Fork springs 1VJ vs 3AJ

Hey,

Does anyone know what’s the difference between 1vj and 3aj front fork springs?

I have a possibility to buy progressive springs on a bargain, but the package states xt600z 88+. I know they have different part numbers per catalogue, but not sure of the physical differences and ...

Re: Ott's 1VJ

Had some time during the weekend so managed to sort out the pannier/bag rack. I made the ...
