In order to set up my rear sag on my 2003 WR250F, I've had to use up most of the thread, and it's still a bit too soft. I suspect at some point a lighter spring has been installed. Does anybody have a spare standard shock or spring they no longer need, or would like to swap for a lighter one? I'm around 13.5 ston...

Went for a spin down the Teign using the long sloping ridge lanes with splendid views over the river. Crossing the river bridge and the town beyond a concrete ford led to the next lane where a deeper ford precedes a steep rocky climb. A long lane took me to a another stringing down the hill. At the end of the...

It's a whopping 1 inch thick an...
