Re: Damper Experience
I actually clutched it up a few times in the last week 
Was actually thinking of putting my 954 front end on the f4i but with stock clipons and all I just hate the way it feels on the f4i. It's really far forward and down compared to the feeling of it on the actual 929 or 954

Re: Damper Experience
there should be an allen screw on the side you un do that drain all the fluid. the best way to bleed it perfict is to submerge it in the fluid so no air can get back into it then just push the rod back and forth till no air come out make shure you move the dampner up and down while your pushing the rod. when i was done with mine it was a huge difference. what took 17 clicks now takes 9.
I figured that would be the only way. Thanks alot!

Re: Damper Experience
What?? wow, you are old school son, no more of this bouncing up ****, we clutch around here..........and nags, its all aboot the 929/54/1000rr front ends....vortex or woodcrafts flipped upsidedown and opposite with full fairing of course........
Re: Damper Experience
I can't bring myself to do the flipped flopped upside down rotated clipon thing... And I also dont like the idea of lowering my front end for stoppies
Balance point on this stock front end with stock clipons is wayyyy up there though

Re: Damper Experience

Re: Damper Experience
Thats what youd think untill you try them, i hated them at first, didn't like them on top and then i stole teach's idea and put them back under the triple and love them, kinda like stock but way wider and nicer, next time i see you i will let you ride them and you can see for yourself what the hype is all aboot........

Re: Damper Experience
Got a hyperpro on each bike.....RSC on the 954 and CSC on the 600RR.....I like the RSC better....gonna rebleed both of em with a lil heavier weight oil when winter finally takes over and I can't ride.
As far as the flipped clip-ons....I like it better, but I think I may go back below the triples, but still flipped, because the front tire is rubbing my radiator on my 600RR with an 05 1000RR front end and woodcraft clip-ons flipped and swapped on top the triple.

Re: Damper Experience
how are you guys bleeding the new hyperpros and the ohlins? they are nitrogen charged.
NME, you're hte first i've heard with any slop in an ohlins. they are usually super tight because of the nitro charge.

Re: Damper Experience
This thread motivated me... I think I'm going to sell my Scotts......
I just love that I can buy a mount kit for several bikes and move it from bike to bike..a rgh

Re: Damper Experience
u can do that with gpr also...and they work better. my scotts was garbage....apparently it had something broken inside of it because it didn't help my tank slap that turned into a broken hip. threw that **** to the CURB after that.
Re: Damper Experience
Well Scotts rebuilt mine twice in the last few months and it seems to work ok... I just wish it would go tighter...All the way tight really isn't that tight at all.
