Rides great on Race Tech fork springs and a fully rebuilt rear shock by localexperts at Toxic Suspension. The "Yamaha Energy Induction System," aka the "boost bottle" system, s in place and works! The brakes were done by Ott's Friction, hey are high-friction shoes arched to the drums -- they stop strong.
