Hi
fairly new to this forum, i have just started trialing a 1974 Ossa 250 mar, and i have a few mods i would like to do so any advice regarding these mods would be much appreciated.
Firstly,
front suspension seems very soft,and and appear to creak a bit when riding, forks are mainly compressed when riding and dont seem to have much travel, i have put heavier weight oil in but it doesnt seem to have made much difference! i am 6'3" tall and a bit on the heavy side, at present the bars seem a bit low(renthal 3"rise) which puts all my weight over the front end, i have ordered some 6" rise renthals so this might help and then will posibly add some bar risers to get me more upright, but any suggestions which may help would be gratefully appreciated.
Secondly
kick start feels awkward, being on the left it appears to be too long, has anyone replaced the long kickstart with a shorter one, if so from what? , or has anyone cut and welded the origional to make it a little shorter (would it be strong enough, cut and welded or will it be too weak}
thanks in advance for any help and suggestions
