Default A few Questions

First off I was wondering what the difference is of the F4i and F4 rear shocks for an F2, because ebay has a F4 shipped for about $30 but I see most people with and F4i rear shock. I also wanted to know where the air intake is at for the air filter because I wanted to know if I needed to spray some starting fluid if I had to take the tank off just to spray the fluid. Then lastly does anyone know the gap size of the spark plugs, since I don't have a manual im not sure. Thanks again guys.

Use an F3 shock, not an F4 or F4i shock. Otherwise you have to get new linkage, it affects the ride height in the rear. F3 shock does not.

The intake snorkels are not accessible without removing the tank, and once you're there you had might as well open the air box and check your filter, then you have direct access to the carb throat.

Plugs are gapped to 0.035-0.036in

haha yea hes right about all of that...i actually just ordered a f4 shock..there is no difference between the f4 and f4i to my understanding...the only reason i did that instead of the f3 shock is because im 6'6" and could use some extra height on my bike

Where you might find it more comfortable being taller, it will handle completely different.

You will have over-steer with a higher tail, it will lean over much quicker (fall over, if you will) going into corners.

Being 6'3" myself, I can understand where you're coming from, but the F2 is quite accomodating.

If you're looking into rearsets, you'll find yourself chewing on your knee's moreso than now
