Great video! A very useful explanation on rear suspension setup and shock adjustment. Can’t wait to see about the front suspension info. Keep on going with your channel, many riders are in need of these useful tips and advice. Thanks!

Realy useful tips, thanks! Winter might be a good time to go through all these to get the bike ready for next season

[@SUPERMOTOLAND]

Definitely!

Really spot on with the static sag. Stock it has loads static sag so you really need to stiffen it up with either preload or stiffer spring. I got my static to 12mm and it solved a whole lot of the front issues. Especially when you are running asphalt only.

[@SUPERMOTOLAND]

12mm is just about perfect

Really usefull vídeo, thanks! It is interesting the explanation of high speed compression adjuster, because usually people only explain th low speed adjustment.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome video, I need the front suspension video!!! Thanks

Thank you so much for this video. I have a 2024 450 SMR that I am trying to get baseline suspension settings dialed in. Out of the box my static sag is 30mm, so I will be taking about 20 of that out.

Hi awesome video. I've just bought an FS450. Can you the same video but on the front Suspension ? Good work 🤙

[@SUPERMOTOLAND]

Why does rider sag not count so much with supermotard?

[@adam-wwa]

What brand of springs do you use? Highest rate WP for this model is 54, according to this video I should aim for more than 56.

[@SUPERMOTOLAND]

I buy my springs through SMX racing in the netherlands, but they get the springs from Q springs. they do just about any springs you want, for the 23/24 model you want 240 mm length

do you have any suggestions for me?? ktm 500 exc supermoto with PDS shock... wp pro 6500 cartridges. valved rear. static is at 35mm, 110mm race sag, pilot power 2ct, 24f/28r psi. on high speed corners(60+mph) with alot of lean. im getting chatter on the front tire. very noticable. and pretty sure i can also hear it going DAT DAT DAT DAT DAT, chattering..

From my experiance if you have correct spring for you weight, then you set up static sag you should get right race sag. We in our team always aim for 15-20mm of static sag, and 60-70mm for race sag. As i said if your spring is correct both your sags will be in that range.
