Air forks...no thanks!
« on: January 09, 2016, 12:58:16 PM »
On the second video I said no problem on the track. I only meant from the standpoint of getting back to your truck. If those forks collapsed on a jump or landing you would be in big trouble! I can see some liability law suits coming because these forks are so bad and unreliable and it's not just Kawasaki. Sunny has had never ending problems with these forks but this is the first time they completely collapsed.

Interesting. I have a set of 13 kx 250f and 14 kx 250f Showa sff forks, part of me was thinking about trading one set for a set of air forks because they're seemingly so much easier to customize quickly. Guess I'll have to think about it some more

not sure how many of you guys remember the controversy in the pits about the air forks last year...but there were several of the top guys in the supercross and motocross series that refused to run them.
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ
