Okay, so Ive been doing some serious debating lately. I wanted to trade my 700xx for a 450 because I am really getting into fmx but I love my 700xx so dearly that I can not let it go.........its my life and I would be LOST without my xx. I know its crazy seeing how its 500lbs but I really want to be the first guy to do fmx my type of machine. Any suggestions that would help this matter? I plan on doing a full suspention upgrade this winter but does anybody know a way to significantly reduce the weight without compromising the machines ability? I really want to do this so bad it hurts, hahaha. HELP?!?!:xx:
As I have tried most things , I only have Extreme Enduro's and Supermotos to do .Then i have raced one of each , here in the UK.
Youre a "Brave" guy to try this and a man with big goonads (balls).
The problem with the xx is it, it's balance. It is real heavy on the rear and light on the front. I have yet to see a vid on someone landing nose first, me included.
You can shave weight of the xx but most of this is on the front end, which kinda makes being airborne worse.
I am working on something to cure this but after alot of emails and alot posts on other forums , I am getting zero replies. Just gunna have to guess. lol.
If you are seriously wanting to try this , then I would recommend Motowoz shocks or Elka st4 or even st5 and order them direct from them. Youre gunna need some serious dampening on the shocks.Do not buy them from EBAY !(Please)
I have a few more ideas but at $2000+ for shocks , just let me know.
