damn, spent ten mins looking at ms canada before i ever read your msg. what a camel toe!!! and yeah might get the stand.

does it get in the way of your boot? can you kick start the bike while on the stand? is it out the way of the tyre? whats the long term update like?

thanks guys, yeah ive had both front and rear ends of the bikes suspension serviced. the rear is fine but the front is way out of order for me. it has too much preload(which comes with no adjustment) so im gonna need new springs and probably a revalve (cos im only 82 kgs). i found a brand new set of...

yeah i heard somewhere that any frontend off a crf 04 and later fits. but wanna be sure first. how much wider were the forks on the 03?

well there seems to be a shortage of knowledge here atm lol. but yeah, my front suspension is absolute crap.i found some brand new 08 crf forks im thinkin of buying. the triple clamps come with a steering dampener too. was speaking to a guy at the ttrack the other day and he swapped his old 05 forks...

thanks, but what front end would you put on there?

hey guys, i know this is a af forum but i figured you guys would have more suspension info than the steely boys. i took my cr5 out to the track today and man that front end handles like chit. the rear was workable but i just cant get my front end working properly.i know your gonna tell me to do the ...

yeah was thinkin of doin a af conversion but my cr frame has been completely restored inc refreshed rear shock and all new linkages. took it out to murray bridge motocross track today and it failed massively in the front end. the rear seemed great so was thinkin of just a new front end. wondered if ...

what forks bolt on to cr500 01. wanted to get 08 triple clamps with 08 crf fromt end so i can have the steering dampener. any suggestions? money is no object.

welcome aboard. good to see another aussie keepin the 5 hundie alive

wow, this thread kind of lost its way didnt it osama and $10 litres of fuel? i do like the idea of the ally cylinder. not sure about the price vs benefits factor though.maybe is it was a cheap change over option id do it.

you can place a washer inbetween to take up some slack (i did that on a xr once, think it will work on crs) and stetch your spring so it applies more preassure to the little bearing. that with a good dose of grease should help.... or you can just buy a new one (keep them greased)

that is one nice lookin steelie man.what front forks are those? and since your from aus, do you have any spare parts your lookin to get rid of?

59 &53 mm for my 01. you need to meassure different cr fork tubes and then match them with your clamp diameter. someone might of swapped/changed the upper clamp set from another bike. meassure other bike fork diameters to dee what matches k.

I do alot of rocky trail riding through quarries so i set up for a plush ride all day. i set my rear shock to softest settings,high speed dampener one turn clock wise, front forks 5wht oil, softest setting on compression, rebound three turns from softest setting. goin motocross this sunday so ill st...
