    SM rim to CR250r

    Hi folks, I'm in the process of putting a set of 17" DNA wheels on my '00 CR250. One hitch I've run into is that the rear brake rotor bolts are much smaller than the stockers. The brake rotor bolts that go with the DNA hubs are 6mm straight bolts while the stock bolts are 8mm with a 10mm...

    Ohlins TTX36 vs. 46PRXLS

    Anyone know the performance differences between the Ohlins TTX36 & 46PRXLS shocks? It looks like the latter can be had for considerably less $$. I'm looking to replace the stock shock on my Gixxer 600. Or should I just have Dave Moss rebuild & revalve the stocker?

    RGV 250 woes

    Any 2-stroke gurus out there? I have a 1994 RGV 250 that has a bad miss from 7k to 9k rpm. It pulls well up to that point and above it pulls hard to 12k where the rev limiter cuts in. I've tried raising the jet needle two notches (the clips were in the top groove) one at a time with no...

    R1 Master Cylinder to GSXR600 conversion?

    I've heard that a front Brembo MC from an R1 or R6 will improve brake feel and reduce fading over the stock Nissin radial MC on the Gixxer. I have a 2004 GSXR600 K4. Has anyone here ever done this conversion? Fact or BS? Which year R1 MC is the one to use? Thanks! Scott
