Title: Weekend Garage Project+ Knuckles trail run updates!
Post by: Amantha_Puththa on Nov 03, 2026, 12:24 PM
Machan,
Finally got around to replacing the suspension bushings over the weekend. What a pain of a job, but the ride is night and day now! Planning a quick run up to Knuckles' weekend to test the flex and see how the new setup holds up on the trail. Anyone else heading up that way? If you've got any good campsites or trail recommendations around Pitawala Pathana / Riverston, drop them here! 🍻

Ela machan, awesome work on the bushings! DIY suspension work is a nightmare to execute, but feeling that tight, smooth ride afterward makes every bit of effort 100% worth it. 🛠� Pitawala Pathana and Riverston are perfect spot choices to stretch its legs, hit the rocky patches near Pathana to test the new flex, but just keep an eye on afternoon weather since those Knuckles trails get slick fast. Also, double-check local rules or private eco-site permits if you're setting up camp near the reserve boundary. Have a blast, drive safe, and definitely drop some flex photos here after the run! 🍻
