WP43 s

[kiwigasgas]

I recenlty bought and old gasser 2003 with WP43. Rode like nothing ive ridden before, so smooth plush compliant, so good and i ve owned heaps of bikes KTMs, husabers husquvarnas ect. Bike was a bit tatty and a nice 2006 popped up real cheap so i grabbed it. Swapped over the best bits and sold the old one.

Suspension on the 2006 is CRAP, so dissapointed. front and rear deflect like crazy, harsh just rubbish. Its still and old bike so i dont want to get involved in spending heaps on revalving ect.

I did rebuild them as seals were leaking and i put 5wt oil and i read they are supposed to have 7.5wt so that could contribute butttt

Does anyone have a nice compliant shim stack setting for the front and rear i can just copy? also any info on the lip machining in the marzoccis ive read about


any help would be so appreciated, never should have sold the old bike doh
