> Hey all!! After an uneventful riding season; due to my busted frame and constant traveling for work, I am going to be tearing the 98 st2 down and doing much needed maintenance to the suspension. Bike shows around 45K miles on her now, over 30K on current setup since i bought here a few years back. I have an ohlins on the back, and plan on sending it to their place in Hendersonville for whatever work it needs. Has anybody done this before? They have a form to fill out asking what work I would like done. But I really do not know. I guess I just want them to fix anything wrong and refresh the gas and fluids? I know I have the heaviest spring they offer for my perticular shock; I weigh around 165 now, and very rarely tour with more then myself and whatever I can fit in the side bags. I am going to ask for a different spring be put on. Any suggestions there?

Nate, I have the kit from traxxon if you want to borrow it.
Give Rick a call at Cogent Dynamics and he can help yo with every thing you might need. He did a good job helping me. Mention you are on the other site and you may get a discount.
I put in new springs, seals and bushings and oil in the front and it was like a new bike.
