head angle
« on: April 25, 2011, 01:21:11 PM »
got sick of kx250 05 to08 tucking in corners and washing the front end out.first thing i did was lengten pull rods 3mm as pro circuit does. that helped.than i heard they use offset bearing cups ,but couldn,t get them in aust.26 degree is to steep on this model .so i change it to 26.5 with help from a engineer .big job!what a differance,now it turns with confidence ,less tucking,and doesnt wash out half way around a corner.standard bike has trail of 105mm ,now it pushing 117mm .why kawi got it wrong.dont know,but even their new models need changes.offset etc.etc.
