Anyone rode both the 03 Monster and a previous year?
I have an 02 Monster which works great, but I rode an 03 Monster around the parking lot at my LBS and it felt very different - so much slower and heavier - but that was the parking lot.
Also overheard people saying the 02s are now wanted items as people are finding the 03s are an extra 2 or 3 pounds AND don't get the advertised 200 mm travel (actually 190 mm or less - not much more than the old Monster).
I like my 99.
Kids!!….a moment of pleasure..a lifetime of pain.
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!! CHANGE YOUR USER NAME U UN-ORIGINAL BASTARD
yes I lost it
was that just a coincidence?
the 03s have adjustable compression and it rocks. both high and low speed. The adjustmenst work great and help to control bottoming. they are a little heavier but internals are much nicer imo. they have 190 mm of travel and 10 mm negative travel. and change your user name
I prefered the internals of the '03…..but get/keep an '02.
They are lighter and the internals are still fine:)
I have not had any problems with my 02's and once I got the oil and spring set up dialed I have been happy with them. I did however just break my top crown which looks like it would be hard to do on an '03. Just a little niggle.
