2020 Yamaha TTR 230 Front Suspension Upgrade

[@mychal513]

Ey bro I was behind you in a drive thru and decided to check out ur channel, pretty cool videos man keep it up!

[@RidingwithDylan]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mikecostello9671]

Easier when you take the front wheel off I switched my fluid to a slightly heavier weight but this seems like it's the real fix. Good video. 👍

[@allanwrench]

Hey Mike, I am thinking about doing this as I am bottoming out the forks. What oil weight did you go to? Was it a big enough difference or did you still want to change the springs. I'm trying to decide whether to do 20 weight oil or do springs and oil. I'm 200 lbs.

[@mikecostello9671]

@@allanwrench honestly I would get heavier springs if anything the heavier oil makes it a little stiffer just changes the dampening a bit. The guy down here in south jersey did my rm125 shocks he said he can get me springs made so I would assume they are available. Good luck! Fun bikes.

@@mikecostello9671 thanks for responding. I’m talking to my local shop now.

[@jadentha1090]

how long did this take to do? thinking about doing a suspension upgrade as well for my 2024 ttr 230

[@HamRadio200]

Doing race tech cartridge emulators and springs on my 2021 TTR230 this weekend. They have no listing for MY 2021, but I'm gonna take a chance that the 2017 is the same; I'm almost certain that it is. Wish me luck.

[@RidingwithDylan]

How did it work out did you put it all together?

[@HamRadio200]

@@RidingwithDylan oh! It worked out fine. They fit as expected.

[@giuseppe9617]

You never said what was the torque spec for the pinch bolts

[@nickg5275]

Hey bro have the same bike as you. Any idea where to find a plastics kit?

[@bernardolopez2770]

Good job👍

[@RWWRENTAL]

Sweet video, did you see a huge improvement to a heavier spring set on rougher trails?

[@allanwrench]

Awesome! This video is exactly what I needed to figure out how to do this myself! Do you reuse the same circlips?

[@RidingwithDylan]

Yes you can reuse them, you just want to take them out nicely, otherwise if you over or under stretch them technically there a little weaker and should be replaced, You most likely don’t need to replace them.🤟

[@paulsimard9543]

Great video, I am 240 lbs is that upgrade tou hust didwould be ok for my weight too. ttr230 too. thks keep ypthe good work when tou changed the jets tour lighting was a bit dark , maybe next time more light thks

[@davidbranson9386]

That’s a beautiful bike my TTR 230 is really dirty

[@dboutdoors6180]

Do you have the part number and rate? .42 or .44?

[@DEAD-LAST]

Could that not have been done without removing the forks?

[@redtobertshateshandles]

No, because there aren't any oil drain screws. He should have taken the front wheel off and done them one at a time.

[@RidingwithDylan]

Yes!, I just take the wheel off because i thought it would be lighter also it’s kind of annoying when your working with it standing on the wheel because it wants to roll or do circular motion stuff, but yea your right you can definitely do it like that.🤟

[@diesel8762]

Yikes.. you may want to get ahold of a service Manuel.

[@RidingwithDylan]

I’ve had no issues and rode the shit out of the bike, what would be so wrong?

[@diesel8762]

@@RidingwithDylan you made a easy job hard by not taken the front wheel off. Fighting Something that big and awkward is crazy when its one bolt. No offense man just trying to help. Braap.

[@RidingwithDylan]

@@diesel8762 I hear you mann it’s all good! It’s funny I don’t know what was up with me that day but yes I definitely made it harder for myself! Lol

[@iSwanTheNumberOne]

Where did you get your hand guards?

[@RidingwithDylan]

Hey, I ordered them on ebay, here s the lnk www.ebay.com/itm/362928117590?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D2c13a33e84ad4d8b9b58cd27ea6d6239%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D362928117590%26itm%3D362928117590%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DPowerMadd&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A558c82ec-e833-11eb-8c6f-ba6a7787622f%7Cparentrq%3Abc72bd3717a0a0a539408f1effc2d6d4%7Ciid%3A1

[@RidingwithDylan]

Hey if you are going to buy Hand Guards, get the Full ones with the rap around metal, I fell with these and broke my finger, it would have helped to have the other ones 🤟

[@cruzcarwash]

How's the conversion to street going?

[@RidingwithDylan]

I did not get a title or street tires, but I added all the electrical stuff for it to be street legal. I ordered I believe the YFZ450 conversion kit was what I got.

[@cruzcarwash]

Thats cool bro looking forward to another video.

[@cruzcarwash]

does the stock stator keep up with all the lights that make it street legal

[@MsDynamictraining]

Hey I just got the 2o22 TTR 230 and I contacted canyon race craft to get bigger springs but they want me to measure inside and outside diameter of for and the length. Did you have to do that? I thought the 2020-2022 were identical as far as suspension goes

[@RidingwithDylan]

Hey Christine! When I called them up, I did not, I believe that all would be the same, I literally told them my year make and model and the kind of bike and how much I weigh, and that’s how they hooked me up..

[@MsDynamictraining]

@@RidingwithDylan dang the want me to measure inside and outside diameter of my fork springs plus the length

[@RidingwithDylan]

@@MsDynamictraining hmm that’s interesting.. I did measure the old spring best I can and took a picture of the measurement, the length came out to 612 mm and the diameter 22mm. If you message me on Instagram Hondarider125r, I’ll send you the pictures of the measurements so you can take a look.
