Did some stuff that pros only are meant to do but it's actually really really easy so do it yourself!


Front fork service and oil replacement...



Rear float stantion was scratched to f**k due to play in the bushings so I liquid metaled it and wet and dryed it down along with cleaning, oiling and re-bushing now its all working plush as! Having said that initially I didn't tighten up the air sleave enough so it went down overnight and I assumed that it was f**ked!
