What do the springs on the front forks do?

Why is the fuel filter on the right side?

Why do you blip the throttle when you slow down in turns? Is there a problem with it idling in turns, or does it load up (foul the plug)? Do you need to do that to downshift? Just wondering,...

How did the additional weight (sprung weight) on the swingarm from the fender and taillight, etc., affect the rear suspension action?

wow !! questions, yes i did use spray max 2k.

the springs dont do anything just for looks

the fuel filter, long story, lol, is on the right because i had a copy yamaha raptor and the gasket broke inside and leaked fuel (thats why it got repainted) and i could'nt get a repair kit that fitted OR a new raptor tap so i used a intruder chrome tap that has the outlet 90deg pointing across the engine hence the fuel line comes round, makes it easier to use a fuel filter tho lol

As for the added unsprung weight on the rear swing arm, its not much weight, i cant say ive noticed much different, its a lot lighter now without all that rear so i just let the shocks off one notch to compensate

OH and the bliping throttle thing, its just a habit from drag racing days when indeed the motor did run rich at idle, but the bike runs fine, it doesnt foul up or have any running issues now ive rejetted and done a few little mods.
didnt realise id even did it lol

Wow. You answered all my questions. Not only that, you didn't interpret any of them as personal attacks. Not only that, they were direct answers to direct questions.

Refreshing.
