I thought that idea was around before. Kinda like 4T's - they were around before, too...

I like this guys comment:
boarbeast

I really admire Yamaha for continuing to produce a 250 YZ 250 2 stroke. YES, A 250 TWO STROKE for the people who do not buy into the 4 stroke and never will. I wonder behind the scenes how many top pros still racing today, who went through the transition period yrs ago feel like me? Probably more than you would expect. I seriously hope in the near future the next big Cycle News story will be the development of new 2 strokes from all manufactures.

It has been done before in the old days. Now it will be tried again. Its funny tho, my street bikes have had adjustable pre-load for YEARS but only now is that being brought to the dirt world...

Id be suprised if that worked good with all the imbalance...

on my 125 the comp was 4 clicks diferent one fork to the other and it handled horrible till I fixed it, even made the brakepad wear on a angle because 1 fork traveling easier than the other
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Sounds like your fork sliders/wheel bearings were heavily worn. If "imbalance" like you are describing was possible (under normal conditions) than your bike would always "pull" towards the brake rotor when you applied the front brake.

all of the bearings and bushings were tight the bike was hardly ridden when I got it..


it didnt pull at all with the brakes, it felt like the forks were rock hard at 4th and 5th wot
but high speed bumps made the forks bind and the brakes go on a little bit and then the crazy tank slapper,

fixed compression clickers and that fixed it
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
