    marzzocchi rear shocks 87.590 with 28psi

    Yesterday I turned my '77gs750 (in progress for sale) into a woodtail (made wood struts) so I could steal the red Marzoocchi gas shocks (labeled on the bottom 87.590 and try them on my '79gs1000. Weird but even on the lowest setting (where they were) the shocks are really stiff sprung like they...

    could Mix setting drastically affect vacuum sync?

    Yes, revving in neutral, good point about load (but that is task 2). And yes, #3 is capped. I even fit back that hose and the sync tool hoses to get snug fit on nipples and checked with propane for leaks. And finally yes, I think a sync would need to be close to check mix. I can check bench...
