if you are refering to the 790 adventure, it has the same exact forks than the 2019-2020 model.

@@etruscanadv3296 sorry i didnt specify, yes it is the 790; thank you, I thought it might be the same, i just needed confirmation

Good morning. The Xmax 300 cartridge is mainly sold in Europe and Asia. I would suggest you in this case to write directly in Italy to request if such modification is possible. 30mm is a lot to reduce. Write an email at [email protected]

Good morning Terlos, where are you from? Maybe I can find one fo our service centers or other branches reach out to you. Please send an email at [email protected] and please tell us what bike it is and what kit you did installed. Thanks

Good morning, you can reach out directly to David at [email protected] , this way he can review the install with you.

You're welcome

Good morning Enrique. Your kit is one of the oldest one we do and it uses a unique series of springs, that's why they are not marked. Your rate is 58. In other Misano Evo cartridges we got a huge variety of spring rates, so that's why they are marked. Your cartridge is one of those where we use just that configuration of length and internal ID, so it does't need the spec on it.

Great to hear!

That all we wanna hear! 😎

Do you already have a cartridge installed?

@@AndreaniUSA no

@@booger1717 So, with 82Kg + gear you're in the average weight class of riders. Depending on the bike model you would get what we consider or call a standard rate spring for your weight. And this is to get your sag numbers right. After that using the hydraulic adjustments you can reach the feeling you want. But after all the tests we've done in Europe and USA in the past years, we find the 1330 to have the best performance overall with this model of cartridge. There's 1cst. of difference between the 1309 and the 1330. You wouldn't feel the difference to be honest but your suspension would as the 1330 would last longer on high exercise temperature.

@@AndreaniUSA thank you for this very precise answer :)

@@booger1717 You're welcome. Like and subscribe to our channel for future videos! 😎

The Offset in this case is the ratio between the internal and external pressure that the machine reads. Depending on elevation the external pressure of the ambient you're in changes. This affects the internal pressure of the tanks during vacuum. That's why it's important to set it correctly.

Hi Anna, actually your fork is an upside-down fork, so you won't have the oil lock in your inner tube legs like in the video. Did you do the level of 90mm without springs or with? It should be done without springs inside. From how you describe it, I feel like you might have made the level with the spring inside the forks? SO having too much oil inside. But on the other side consider that the fork fully bottomed should arrive at 25mm from the axle clamp. If you want just reach out to us via phone or email so we can get you rolling asap. [email protected] or (828)435-0125. You can speak with David in the suspension Lab.

@@AndreaniUSA Thank you very much for response! I had the kit installed by a professional suspension shop. So don't know for sure how they did it (I hope all right 🙃). When I picked up the bike, they told me to keep the number for further fork services. I should get back to them to have it sorted, anyway.

The majority of the Andreani Misano EVO fork cartridge kits use a standard top out spring that has been determined to offer a comfortable ride and a performance gain over the OEM suspension. We have determined our design to match the needs of a street bike and light track use. Top Out springs rarely influence "Rider sag", They are primarily used to control the chassis at the top of the stroke. All OEM motorcycle models and brand will have different top out springs or NO top out springs This is mainly due to the cost and vendor supplying the suspension to the motorcycle manufacture. Because all makes, models and years of motorcycles have different top out springs (or none), the comparison and will vary. Regarding the Andreani USA fork kits, its best to explain the variables with the OEM versions. -A top out spring that is long and a higher rate will typically have more "static sag" -No top out springs will have less "static sag" then ours. -Short or light rate top out springs will have little "static sag" -Top out springs really do not have an influence on "RIDER SAG". Hope this helps... there is a lot of info here and I just wanted to summarize a few things. NOTE: TOPPED OUT - motorcycle lifted, wheels FULLY extended, not touching ground STATIC SAG - The difference between Topped out and resting on its on weight. (NO Rider) RIDER SAG - The difference between Topped out and a riders weight on the bike.

Actually there are several dealers of ours, (suspension shops), that do sell and install them too. Normal mechanics won't as it requires some suspension knowledge to install any cartridge kit but ours are not different from other brands when it comes to installation. ON our website www.andreaniusa.com -> About -> Dealers you can filter service centers.

@AndreaniUSA Well, ACTUALLY-actually, the shop I called -- the one that exists within 500 miles, said no, we only do mountain bikes. Your own shops are cutting ties with ya. And on top of that, if I did want to try it, or have my local guy try it.... the tools aren't available. They're on sale!!! But just not in stock. If it's truly needed to do the job and indeed proprietary, it should be in the box. Not free, but in the box. So you can, ya know, do the job...?

@@joek81981 In the search filter you can select MTB or Motorcycle (dealers and/or service centers), you probably overlooked that. The tools are not a MUST but just a way to get the install done easier. We decided to have the tools available that are making the installation easier to final customers. Those can be purchased also individually. The bundle is not available at the moment cause we miss one of the 3 tools that will be in stock soon again. (We sincerely apologize for that) We do also recommend to have a suspension shop installing any cartridges (not just ours) as they have the knowledge, training and tools required to perform the installation. Of course you're free to install those also on your own as per manual. If you need help installing your cartridge you can contact us in the workshop and we can either install it for you or help you through the installation process. Ride Safe.

​@@joek81981 Agree with you, some times you can't trust in a regular mechanic to do this job ... For me is better do it by myself and I learn more about! The tools must be in the box and this video instructions too, maybe optional and you can charge for the tools! Easy for us and better for you as a dealer, think about it and listen your clients, some of Us like to do the Job in our bikes ❤

Both measures are valid whether you stand or sit on the bike, but if you stand, you should assume the position you usually have on the bike, with more weight towards the back. Some people make this calculation while standing completely straight, which is not how you would actually stand on the bike while riding. If you stand correctly, you can find a measure that is pretty close. However, for practical measurements, sitting on the bike is more precise. The stiction zone can vary due to many factors such as spring preload, and whether the bushings are old or new for example. When you measure the SAG on the bike, we assume it's the first time you ride a new bike or a used one, after a service/tuning, so all friction elements should be lubricated and in very good shape to determine the correct SAG without needing to account for the stiction zone. I would say that, just like with our different angle measurements, others may have a different philosophy and include the stiction zone as well.

Thanks Guy, your feedback is really appreciated!

You did it right, adjustment rod needs to stay inside while you move the shaft up and down to bleed/fill.

Thankyou very much! That’s a relief

Appreciate it! Thanks for your comment.

Yes it’s including springs too. Andreani produces the 20mm piston cartridges since almost 20 years. The product evolved through the years with new features and better materials. But the reason why the price cap is not as high as many would expect is because of the modular system that Andreani built around it. We reduced as much as possible the waste of materials and can keep in that way a good production cost and that reflects also the final customer price.

Yes, unfortunately, not all bike forks are the same, so the instructions are different and of course getting in a set for each bike is almost very hard. Especially for older bikes. Keep in mind we got over 500 applications through the years, so not an easy task, but will work on something similar soon.

We're working on some installation videos to at least show our customers the most important parts during the installation. We're constantly working on new projects so all we need is just time. 😅

@AndreaniUSA can't wait. This one gave me a lot of info.

@AndreaniUSA I've got the cartridge kit and a spare set of forks if you would like to use mine for an install video. Can't seem to find a local shop that wants to install them.

@@carlcouchman4091 Thanks for reaching out. Actually we got lots of installs every day, what we miss is the time. :) That said if you want to have us install your kit, send a message to [email protected] so he can send you an estimate on the install.

Will do

Thanks @KhalisMitchell, upgrades are always fun and should be a positive experience, so we hope you enjoyed the video and maybe learned something new 😁 If you have anything in ming just go on our page and see what we have for your bike www.andreaniusa.com

@TheCvac, Actually it does not. But with aftermarket cartridges it also depends on how your forks are built. Sometimes you're obliged to have the cartridge in a certain position but in that case it's written in the manual. That said if your manual doesn't say, you can put them in which ever position you prefer. However the motorcycle industry standard is, Compression cartridge on the left and rebound cartridge on the right.

​@@AndreaniUSAthat is one of the confused things we see as customers... Write it down in the manual!

@@EnriqueGonzalez-iu3so . Every fork is different and if your fork requires a specific assembly position, it'll be mentioned. It mostly depends if the OE forks have specific configurations that do not allow an Industry standard install. However the motorcycle industry standard is, Compression cartridge on the left and rebound cartridge on the right

Thank you for purchasing an Andreani Misano fork kit for your Multistrada. We honestly suggest that a professional works on your suspension if you've never done it before. All of our fork kits do come with a basic installation manual and we are here to offer advice. Regarding the Multistrada (there are different years, and kits to fit the different bikes). There is no cartridge holding tool needed for this bike. The base bolt needs to be threaded in and torqued to the spec for each model. For further information, Please feel free to contact us directly at 828-435-0125 and ask for David.

Thanks @ducatinyc, we’ll do our best. Yes we’ll work not just on suspensions but also exhausts. There’ll be more content coming soon. 👍🏼😎

@@AndreaniUSA suspension and exhaust - two main pillars of a fine motorcycle experience. Looking forward to it.

Hey Ryan, thanks for your message. I would ask you to send us an email with your information on [email protected], this way David can get back to you easier and asap. We got our training classes during the next few days so please be patient and he’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
