Pro Circuit New Product: Quick Adjust Fork Cap & Rapid Adjust Pre-Load Tool
Recognizing the need of an easier solution to fork preload adjustment, the engineers at Pro Circuit have developed the Quick Adjust Fork Cap. One of Pro Circuit's newest products, the cap allows users to adjust the preload of the fork much easier than the normal stock setup.Throughout Pro Circuit's history, the redundancy of normal preload adjustments have been noticed, typically in 2.5mm increments. In other words, in order for riders to make a 2.5mm preload adjustment on the stock setup, they would have to turn the adjuster 15 clicks. The Pro Circuit Quick Adjust Fork Cap will allow consumers to do the same adjustment in just two clicks, or one full turn. This virtually eliminates the possibility of losing count and makes every adjustment an effective one.

 Payton is arguably the most successful motocross and Supercross team owner of all time. His privateer teams have won more championships than any other -- 26 since 1991.
Payton's parents, James and Norma Payton, introduced him and his brother, James Jr., to motorcycling at a young age. By the time he was 10, Payton was competing in family enduros and a few years later was racing competitively in AMA District 37. In 1977, at the age of 17, Payton was one of the district's top desert racers and won the 125 class in that discipline. Unfortunately, the next year Payton's racing career was cut short by injury.
 Instead of allowing discouragement to turn him away from motorcycling, Payton refocused his efforts on the business side of the sport. At 18, he bought and ran a local Husqvarna shop. His skill and reputation as a tuner grew, and his parts were being used by some of the biggest motocross teams of the mid-1980s. Then, in 1991, Honda asked Payton to run its 125 team. Payton accepted, and over the next 19 years, racing other brands as well, his teams won more championships than any other.
In his acceptance speech, Payton recognized all the employees, mentors, racers and friends who helped him throughout his career.
 "We're all here because we all love motorcycles," Payton said. "I started riding with my mom, dad and brother. It was something I was really passionate about and wanted to do every day. Then, when I got hurt at 17 and couldn't ride anymore, I had some really good friends in my life at that time. When I was 18 years old, we bought a Husky shop that was losing money. Now, 32 years later, here we are as Pro Circuit, and we have a very successful race team.
"I feel real fortunate and really lucky to have achieved more in my life than I thought was possible," Payton continued. "I couldn't have done it without all my friends. Friends are the most important thing."
