Good day, Completely off topic, I recently got the 20mm ktm lowering kit installed. The rear shock rebound dampener adjuster is no longer giving me clicks after two clicks going anti clockwise from the stop at fully clockwise. What do you think is wrong ? Any suggestions?

Do you have a service manual for the XC-W 300 2017-18? Or a service manual for suspension?

[@TokyoOffroad]

Yes, I always purchase the KTM repair manual for every bike I buy. If you're working on your bike yourself they are well worth getting. The manual are available here: print.ktm.com/

Any tuning options for this thing? JBi says its a rather weak unit and a lot of people go with the 8946 Pro one. I hope they bring some updates for it.

Dal Soggio have a piston and shim kit for the shock. My plan is to install one and a bladder kit at the end of this year...

[@dneitzel772]

Has this bearing proven to be an issue on these shocks?

[@TokyoOffroad]

No, I haven't heard of any early failures. The seals work well at keeping dirt and water out. Best to avoid pointing a pressure washer directly at the bearings though (same for any bearing or seal on the bike). But they are a wear item and will need replacing at some time...
