Kick ***! Looks like a fun place to ride. We've got nothing like that around here. Just forest roads and trails. The good wide open stuff is over on the other side of Bend (about 3 hours from Eugene)

Nice! That first one looked brutal on teh suspension though!! Be careful, my buddy with an 09 blew his fork seals twice, and the rear shock once from jumping.. The 09's definitely seem a little bit lacking in the suspension department..

Good stuff!

thats how you treat a bike. ive had the fork seals go twice (300 miles and 7000), but sence the springs where put in no problems at all. the rear, stock with 14000k, still going strong. and yes i jump the bike.

ya thanks guys, the suspension is lacking a bit for jumping but compared to some dual sports (drz 400, XT 250, couple others) it seems pretty good

Oh I'm not saying not to jump it - I was just saying be careful with the suspension!

I've bottomed both sides of my 07 out more times then I like to admit!

now that i think of it, in your sig, it says you dont have fork springs, i would do that next the way you treat the bike. it gave me a new confidence jumping anything bigger than a bump, and i can now mash threw sand whoops like no ones busness.

I looked thru this thread three times and I did not see any sig that said they did not run fork springs. Am I missing something. Is it possible to run these bikes without fork springs? Please explain.
Cheers and Merry Christmass
