Admitedly they probably come with more favorable settings out of the box than a stock shock, you could have a stock one rebuilt, sprung for you weight and revalved for your preffered speed and terrain for less though, so its well worth considering unless your current shock is a total write off As an...

As mike says i would focus on rebuilding yours, the hagon monoshocks are bloody expensive and don't look like an upgrade at all. A rebuild with new seals bumper gas etc. Shouldnt cost much over £100

I would have done the comp test but im away in japan, my father in laws garage were funny about doing it and i don't want to buy a guage here when i have one back home in the UK Just a week left before i go home now, so will just bring my guage along when im back in japan this winter With 19k on the...

So, funny story and good result.... After much frustration sorting my CRM out i think ive got it sussed, hopefully this experience will help someone else. Long story, short. It seems it was my air screw on the carb being set far too rich, and not the piston at all. Makes perfect sense now that it wo...

Thanks for the tips, i actually remembered the mileage incorrectly, its more like 19k so probably the first piston wearing out.

I can't really understand any signs, or what anyone says, so its hard to be sure but generally people here seem to have a pretty relaxed attitude to such things. Mind you i don't really have much trouble in Devon either, i must just be very likeable (or perhaps oblivious). Unlike the UK though, the ...

Hi All, Ive been lurking around these forums for a while, ever since i picked up a mk3 in 2014. Im based in England (Devon) where im a prolific trail rider on my Suzuki DR350, but bought the CRM to explore Japan where i often visit my wifes family. So i don't get to spend much time with her (the CRM...
