today i got my revalved suspension back and went for a ride, i noticed i could sit down into corners and shoot out a lot faster than before, before it was way to stiff and if i hit a bump sitting down it would knock the breath out of me...
then i noticed the back end seemed squirrely, but i thought that was from the suspension so i rode for another 45 minutes till i bailed on a log and saw my (tubliss) rear tire was flat, so i rode back to my truck, found the leak, jammed a piece of electrical tape in the cut and put some crazy glue on it and poked around in there so the glue went in...
held all day, i couldnt be happier with the tubliss. i was running 6.5 psi when it happened
then i went to a flat landing jump to see if it bottomed too easy, it worked good but it was making a weird noise from the front when it bottomed... later i noticed a big polished spot on my pipe a inch to the right from the center where my tire was rubbing but my pipe is pretty mangled tho
when i have a new pipe ill measure the clearance to see how much there is
and i weighed my bike and it was 146lbs with a full tank, im guessing it holds 7 liters=14 lbs so 232 dry +-3 because the scale i used mightve been a little off

testing suspension
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.
