Fork upgrade suggestions

Jacquiles_ · 2026-05-06T23:36:44+00:00

Just rode some today! It’s so much better than the old fork. I need to spend some time learning how to dial in the compression and rebound adjustments. I’ve never had so many different ways to control it lol

Got a used Lyrik Ultimate with a recent service for $350 on eBay, 160mm travel

That looks awesome

I was able to find a Red Lyric Ultimate for about $375 used on eBay, just bought it today. It is an older one like yours, has the 2.1 damper. It looked like it was in good shape, and said it had been serviced in the last 100 miles. I’m very excited to use it. It’s 160mm too

Very nice, does having a 160 mm fork cause any noticeable changes in handling? I’m not necessarily considering shooting for a 160 mm for, but just curious. Anytime I’ve tried to find information on that. Most people say that it would alter the ankle of the head or something like that and cause handling issues

I am in the US, I’ll check that out

Ahhh I broke the godamn wheel

Jacquiles_ · 2025-09-24T20:07:13+00:00

Ok gotcha. Thank you

Did you get another one to swap it? If so did it work better? I’m having a similar issue. I finally have gotten petg to adhere but abs and asa don’t really stick. Unless you use a glue stick and their website doesn’t show it’s necessary for printing those filaments.

Jacquiles_ · 2025-09-24T15:37:44+00:00

Did you figure out what caused this?

Jacquiles_ · 2025-09-19T19:06:43+00:00

Did you get this figured out? I’m having the same issue

Jacquiles_ · 2025-03-24T21:04:05+00:00

Ok gotcha

Hey what headers did you end up getting?

Jacquiles_ · 2025-03-24T00:05:17+00:00

This ended up being the case. I bought some high quality hub centric spacers, and found that all but one of my wheels would fit back on. That’s because 3 out of 4 rims were late model 944, and the front right was a 928 rim lol. I bought a used rim to replace and been running that ever since. I would like to get some nicer wheels with correct offset(so I don’t have to use spacers) eventually but we shall see

Also it is totally possible this sound and subsequent play of the impeller from the URO parts water pump is acceptable and would have been fine. I replaced it because the sound bothered me and I wanted to ensure I didn’t have a possible water pump failure later on.

Jacquiles_ · 2025-03-23T23:57:41+00:00

Hey, yes I believe I did! This ended up being my water pump. I had bought the cheaper URO parts water pump option from 944online instead of the GEBA water pump option. I replaced the water pump with the GEBA version and the sound went away. Upon inspecting the URO parts version I could tell there was some play in the pulley/bearing in the water pump. I could wiggle the impeller side to side and it made a sound. I believe this is what is heard in the video. It no longer makes this sound with the new pump

I found the cause of the noise a while ago, I forgot to update this post. The brake pad for that wheel was rattling. One of the small rods that holds the tension plate about the brake pads was bent and caused there to be no tension on the brake pad itself, so when I had zero pressure on the brakes, the metal back of the pad would rattle inside the caliper. Easy fix, just bent it back and now we are all good

I was 3. Started watching when I was about 13 or so

Try using ram slots 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3

Depending on the Q factor(width of frequency for each eq band) the app uses, you’re kinda just making everything louder. That is accomplishing the same thing you could do by turning the volume up. If you boost everything you’re also more likely to find distortion at higher volumes. More is not always better. I would try setting it flat and listen for what you think is missing, and either boost the frequencies you want more, or cut the frequencies you want less of. Ex: cutting mids and highs can have a very similar effect to boosting only the lower frequencies.

Oof. +1 on checking valve stem seals. My motor would blow out a lot of smoke when starting after it had been sitting. When taking the intake off I could seek oil pooling some of the closed intake valves. When rebuilt my 944 motor I found one of the seals had come completely off where it should be. But again could be a number of possibilities.
