Changed my oil, cleaned and oiled my air filter and thoroughly washed the bike. Come on cicadas!

I did a little suspension work. So far I really love the improvement but I've only put on a few miles so far. I was a little pissed to find fresh fluid in the right fork and smelly old fluid in the left fork. I know my nephew spent thousands of dollars maintaining this bike over the years. This means he paid for a fluid change and they forgot one side.






Left and right used fork oil. Who knew you needed different color fluid?

That sucks! What was the cost on that front suspension? I'm looking at Legend fronts as I already have REVO A rears & LOVE em!

Does this have to do with the cartridge in the left side? I've never dealt with it so just curious as my '99 did not have a cartridge style. Over the winter I upgraded to the same Progressive setup paired with Supershox in the rear and love it.

Built a couple 250cfm fans to mount to my aluminum glove boxes.
I hope by blowing air down both sides of engine will keep temps
Down in slow moving traffic.
