I have found them okay, there still is about 50mm travel spare but I haven't got any huge air yet. I went with the 175ml because that is what came out of them from the factory.
Change the front and rear suspension. Up front a set of DNM M-200 with 735mm travel and on the rear a the DNM HRC shock with 310mm travel. Replace the front fork oil with 175ml of castrol 10 grade if you are about my weight. I got the set with triple clamps for $650 delivered direct from China...
Well here it is at last as promised:
I bought my Atomik 160cc Bigfoot of Ebay for a bit above $700. I chose the Bigfoot over the smaller wheeled bikes because I was after a bit more ride height and stability. I know many out there are anti-bigfoot config. So once the bike arrived I undertook...
Hey can anyone tell me how much fork oil to put in each forks leg, 735mm travel dnm m-200, what weight fork oil? I weigh 85kg. I am hoping that the forks have the correct volume in them now so when I drain them I can measure what was in them
Hi Gurus
I have a new set of dnm m-200 735mm front forks for my atomik 160cc bigfoot. I weigh 85kg. How much oil for each leg and what weight do you recommend
Thanks
that does look like a sick little track, i got started on mine over the long week end and boy am i feeling the pain now. Fortunately had the help of a front end loader but still had to do a fair bit by hand, reckon it needs about another 2 days work
Dido Rip, my gear is coming out from China. I have a set of DNM 735mm M-200 up front and the DNM 310mm HRC on the rear, all fully adjustable rebound etc. Should be here in about 2 weeks. I will be keen to hear about your upgrades.... you can never have too much power :-)
Yeah! go the Atomik, I have the 160cc bigfoot and apart from a cdi that cost $6 to replace this big was cracking value for $700. Now I am fitting full DNM suspension so that it not only goes hard but will able to take the air as well...all for less that $1500
Hi guys did you see that the vics have a recreational rego system that allows them to register pitbikes etc . Someone should let Rann know there's some money to be made in this...I suppose the down side is the cops can't charge us with unreg/uninsured and pick up the court fees and fines
I am just about to buy a set of DNM M-200 front forks and DNM HRC rear shock for my 160cc bigfoot $650 so I will be interested to see what difference that makes
