I do like all the little mods an tricks you can do on bikes to gain better performance I know on the kyb forks on these kx early models you want the air out these oil forks im guessing because they need to be extra soft an dampen large jumps you got a bleed screw because they draw air up the seals but can buy quick bleeders. on the rear kyb rear shock they got a tyre type valve on the bladder side of the shock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
