Clay we did it all today, teamwork.

Initial impressions on the motocross track is that the linkage is very noticeable. It felt much better than my previous model. Previously, when id hit the faces of steep jumps, or land hard the shock wouldn't slow down much. I felt like it would blow straight through unless I had a lot of compression clicked into it. With the new linkage, the bottoming out seemed to disappear and it was a much more progressive feel. Big day of testing tomorrow, dialing in forks with correct springs and a few other tricks. I'll be posting a video on my blog early next week. Also I'll have a report of the new moto tassenari v force 4 reed system.

Is the new linkage interchangable with the 2011 Race? New linkage and newshock maybe? Or do we just have to wait for the 2012's

Probably. The shock is a different length.

Think the frame is the same? Tough to say by a few frames of video, could be though. The Nambo part# is BE100002511. What is a standard '11 frame part#? Maybe color difference changes # too.

Think the frame is the same?.

Looking at page 47 on the link I posted above. The frame is different. The dog bones mount to a tubular boss on the bottom of the frame.

This linkage look familiar? 2012 KXF.

There are only so many basic geometries. The Husky is similar too. I see it dragging more on technical obstacles as its lowest closer to the wheel, unlike the original that is lowest right at the frame. This along with the fork should make the bike even more versatile.

 

[gasgasman]

The good part is Gas Gas deleted the vertical brackets (at the rear engine mounts) for the linkage .

Trying to stay cool in this heat. The knee did not require any surgery as of yet. Girard & I rode 2 weeks ago and had a blast except with the heat. Knee was doing good with no major issues.

How you been?

Been good. Hot summer here too but I don't dare complain to you guys as the street hasn't melted. I'll miss it after XMas when its stupid cold and snow till April. Figured you spent the summer fishing. Taking kids racing this weekend after torturing them in the rocks all summer. New scooter this fall.

 

[Boomhauer]

I have only been out in the boat 4 times this summer. Work has been stupid crazy!

Did you ween them kid's off of the red bull yet? I still laugh at that story!

The Boat arrives In Vancouver on Saturday with mine
hopefully the customs gods will not hold up the shipment and i will see mine next week maybe
Been a long wait , good thing i had a 2010 Nambo to ride while i waited
The 2010 is being sold to a happy new owner who is moving up from a Husaberg

And Btw , im having the E-Start fitted on it right away , now i just have to lose the extra weight to make up for the difference
