Well? who is here so far?

"Was it Doug? Was it Yahoo?"

Not really either one, but nevertheless, it was broke. Seems Doug
got "bounced" from Yahoo when his email account messed-up or
something. And since Yahoo canned his account, he couldn't get into
his the moderator page to OK anyone else to join the group. And
since everything is being run by these infernal computers, no one
could get the problem resolved. Too bad.

Has anyone heard from Doug and is he going to join this group?

Well gang, I'm ready to report on my adventures with the W650
suspension. I started this quest about a month and a half ago and can
now report on the results.

Rear: I decided that I wanted to upgrade the rear shocks. I know
Hagon makes some, but I'm partial to Progressive suspension so I went
with them. Josh at Progressive assured me that the shocks were the
same as those used on a Vulcan 750. So I ordered a set of those in
the 412 Series, a midrange shock. Well, the shocks arrived and they
were 12.5 inches - the W has a 13 inch shock. I decided to give them
a try. First I removed the dumb chrome shields to reveal the chromed
full legnth spring. Then I installed the shocks. This is a 15
minute job, unless you have 5-Stars stuff on your bike. Then it is a
1 hour job. Of course I had to lift the swingarm/wheel since the
shock were shorter. Bolted everything back on. To my surprise, the
bike, we me on it, is the same height as stock. I had measured the
shock legnth with me on the bike before and after shock replacement
and they are the same. The stock shock had more static sack than the
Progressive. I was also amazed at how light the stockers were
compared to the beefier Progressive.

Front: Progressive could not help me with fork springs, so I went to
RaceTech. I purchase their W650 spring with a .8 rate (stock
is .6). They sent out instructions, the springs and 18inches of
spacer material. The RT springs are three inches shorter than
stock. If I followed the advice of their tech person, I would have
had to have a spacer almost 8" long and use 20w oil. I have worked
with RacteTech before on KLR650's and I know these guys. They are a
great bunch, but their rule is "The firmer the better" I went with a
7.5 inch spacer and 10w oil. The forks have to come off to drain the
oil. I put in the specified amount from the Kawi manual.

The result: I'm always leery about folks who make a change, go out
for a ride around the block and then run to the computer and say how
great everything is. So I decided I would wait a few days and get
some miles on the mods. So, after 400 miles of city, highway,
interstate, and rutted dirt roads, I'm ready to say that my $270.00
were well spent. I may fiddle with the oil level, but I'd say I'm
pretty close to as good as it gets. I've got a good compliant ride
on the dirt roads and bumpy corners, but enough control and firmness
to keep things from getting to squirrley. SO all in all, I'm very
pleased.

Gino

Hi Thierry,
I am Happy to meet you there,
You have finally a link to speak in your language.
Concerning the warranty, I think it's the same in all countries,

you

can't modify the bike, because if you have a problem (technical

or

other), you will lose it.

Guys, it's the first time I answer to somebody, but I read your

sites

with interest and learn a lot of things. I own a W since april

2000

and it is the better actual bike I can drive.

Daniel from France.
