A question for those of you using YZF750 front ends

Post by Kayla » Mon Jan 26, 2009 3:47 pm

Do any of you have the preload-only forks, and if so, how do they compare to the standard TRX ones?

Thanks. I've got a YZF front end here and wondered whether or not to fit it instead of the T'cat forks.

Are you sure its only preload? I thought also the compression was adjustable (or was it rebound #-o ) .
Well, easy to see: a small flathead screw on top of the preload adjuster. :?:

Early YZF forks were preload only... PHUK's got a set on his TRX.

Ah, so there are a lot of different versions.
There are also gold colored ones, I guess those have adjustable preload and compression.
Mine is silver and... fully adjustable. 8)

Mine are black with preload only. I know the T'cat forks would give a wider/better range of adjustability but, man, USD forks are cool! :lol:

Indeed I have.

And what more do you want? Get them set up for your weight and away you go. Way better than Tcat IMHO

Less to fiddle with (and hence fuk up :wink: )
