    HyperPro Springs installed

    I used a paddock stand for the rear, and a jack to raise the solid part of the headers. I put a soft wood block in between the jack and headers - no problem. Whilst i had it all apart, i replace stock springs with HP springs cause i had a fork leak... so though it was a good opportunity.

    Any UK riders replaced Steering Head Bearings?

    Gosh - i'm probably gonna sound like a troll too now... C1/C2 adjustments did not make a difference for my bike, in fact it did jack for me - in the end I purchased a PC3 :) On a budget, give the C1/C2 settings a go.... however IMO PC's will have far better control of fuel/air management...
