i have never had trouble with showa. for some reason i just cant trust kayaba. something about the reviews i have read about kayaba scares me.

wr250f95 · 11-23-2007, 09:49 PM

Ive never heard anything bad

tigmaster · 11-23-2007, 09:51 PM

i have actually read some reviews about kayaba and troubles. mostly with the shoutouts and the riders would say something like would have been great if we could dial in the kayaba's. or other things like that.

well none of the manufactures make a "bad" suspension its just some of them are better at some things than others. but it prob has something to do with how old my bike is (2004) which is before they had the separate air/oil thing going on. but it still bottoms out way to much even though ive put stiffer springs on both ends

tigmaster · 11-23-2007, 09:54 PM

ya, like i have heard showa's are a bit soft.

gscx · 11-23-2007, 09:57 PM

yea they are. the way the oil flows in the forks apparently sucks

tigmaster · 11-23-2007, 09:57 PM

ya, i notice it a lot.

wr250f95 · 11-23-2007, 09:57 PM

yah, yami is the only one that uses kayaba right?

tigmaster · 11-23-2007, 09:58 PM

wr250f95 · 11-23-2007, 09:59 PM
