Title: Gyro Clatter
Post by: not johndub71 on September 27, 2012, 10:11 AM

Does anyone have a mod or how to? When the forks spin, the Gyro seems to flip up and down like a terry wat and I've tried to balance out with the adjusters but to no avail. I aint removing it but its annoying lol.

^^^As above. The one on my khe needed a little fiddling to get right. Slacken them all off and start from scratch making them all level. :daumenhoch:

Its all about balancing it up, make sure it looks square to the frame at all angles and with sufficient tension and tweak it from there.  Its one of the most annoying sounds in the world when its not balanced right.  :2gunsfiring_v1:

New or old school one?

If it's new then get shot of the crappy silver metal bit and treat yourself to a Snafu detangler, they work really well and if you have it pulled down onto the mounting plate or tabs then it shouldn't make a sound  :daumenhoch:
