    I might be interested in the 48 forks if you are willing to remove and sell them.

    Can't find wheel hoops for 2011 300

    Both of the wheel hoops on my 2011 300 six days are bent beyond repair. I can't find a listing or part number for the Excel wheel hoop. Can anyone help with this problem? Also another brand that would fit with stock spokes would work too.

    not all 5 wt fork oil is the same!

    I switched from Motorex to Torco 5 wt fork oil in my 45 Zokes and it got harsh and blew through the stroke. I switched back to Motorex and problem solved. Here is a chart to explain why. All 5 wt fork oil viscosity is not even close to each other.

    2011 zokes finally fixed(for real this time)

    I have been hesitant to post this, but I have ridden it for a month now at this setting and it is great everywhere now! I think the two main keys were tons of rebound shims and I dumped the stock valves and installed hi flow valves from Tecnik in australia. I also lowered the preload to 2mm...

    2011 XC250 header pipe replace??

    I am not real happy with my FMF Gnarley I replaced my stock pipe with on my 2011 300 sixdays with. It hangs much lower than stock and the power is not as strong. The pipe is now lower than my skid plate.

    What do the people "in the know" think?

    After trying everything with the stock valves on my 2011 300 six days I scored a valve kit from Teknik for a BMW 450x. The BMw uses the same forks. These valves flow alot more fluid and work much better. I would recomend them to others.I am a 215lb A rider. I would say to make sure you have the...

    Tame it down a little.

    If you have the stock jetting it can be the problem. My 2011 300 six days hit like a 125 and had dead spots all over. Now I run a n3eh needle (3rd clip) 165 main and 38 pilot at 1000 to 2500 foot. I drop one clip for up to 6500 ft. With jet change I have ran this needle to 13,000ft. This set up...

    2011 six days pipe bent and dented

    I love the performance and look of my stainless steel pipe, but I tood a hard hit to it and it bent up and in and dented front and back. I checked into getting a new one but $500+ is abit rich for my bank account. I called Pacific Crest pipe repair and sent it into be repaired but he says he has...

    2011 six days fork fixed (kinda)

    Going back to 7 wt fork oil from 5 wt made all the differance. Now the front end stays planted and almost all the deflection is gone. Apperantly you just can't make 5 wt oil work in these forks. Which brings me to wonder if 10 wt oil would work even better? Has anyone tried 10 wt oil in the 45 Zoke?

    2011 six days fork fixed (kinda)

    I just switched back to 7 wt fork oil from 5 wt to try that. What about just drilling holes in the stock spacers? wouldn't that work as well? why is the new spacer taller?

    2011 six days fork fixed (kinda)

    Interesting hearing about others having shim stacks fall apart on dissasembly. The first time we took mine apart the first stack fell apart and the other was loose. Does anyone from GG factory read these posts? If they do, do they have any feedback or solutions. It seems that the factory could...
