Ok, when I drop off the forks I will give them the shock too to check.
Rode the bike some today. I think you are quite right about the forks and bleeding. I did a 60 min session on some misc single track. About 50 min in I noticed the forks were much more harsh. When I had my lunch I undid the bleed screws to release the pressure. After that the forks were good once again -- for another 40 min. Then started to get harsh again. Overall I am pleased with the suspension as is. A revalve would be wasted on me.
The engine -- well, I just love that engine. Even with the ridiculous 1/8th throttle jetting. It pulls down to nuthin, revs to the moon, shifts like the proverbial hot knife, and makes quite enough beans thank you. Hills that I would be shifting down on with my WR500 I shift UP while climbing on this thing -- thanks to the slick shifting tranny, the strong power, the good suspension, and the close ratios. Love it. If I get some time I will post video if anyone is interested.
I did it all today, some straight and steep drag-race climbs, some rocky trails, tight single track, wide open single track and fire roads. Lotsa fun. Its ALL good on the 380.
Oh and did I mention the hydraulic clutch? I never had one of those before. Magic.
I think I may keep this scooter for awhile!
100 bucks is good.If you're happy with the susp as is,get the seals done and be finished with it-get them to ck the bushings though as if you put new seal in and have worn out bushings,they'll leak again in short order.Also ck closely for small nicks on the tubes.It doesn't take much and these can be polished out.
I'd still at least get the nitrogen ck'd in the shock.Just a pressure ck with a press guage and a refill is just a couple bucks if you're low.
