Jeff really hitting the head on this topic. I also don’t ride other guys bikes or let anyone ride mine. When they do insist and I take a quick spin. I can’t give their bike back fast enough. Many suffer from moditis. If they had a stock bike they would be miles ahead. Guessing many never rode their bike when it was new. Immediately they tear it apart and get the suspension all tricked out. Bar risers and do dads that mimic the biker gang in Every Which Way but Loose. Don’t even start on tire selection and air pressure. I am just out to ride my bike and maximize my time. Good video Jeff.

I’ve said over and over there’s no point in me trying to crank the bejeebus out of suspension that isn’t going to work for me anyway. I’ve had two bikes resprung from my weight. Each time it was like riding a new bike and you CANNOT get that from a spring made for half of your weight. I found this video because I just picked up a 2018 300 xcw and will be ordering a spring set next Tuesday. After I can put all my gear on and get on a scale.

So being this was basically a "basic's" vid for mostly newer riders on suspension mistakes, the one thing I got out of it was that your web site has suspension spring rates!! Who knew. It was also an eye opener that you mentioned using the riders TOTAL weight with gear where other sites I've used (RT, etc) only mention riders weight and I always thought that was off. Even with progressive spring rates mentioned by others, it still feels too soft for me. I'll be going to your site right away and see what it says my rates should be for my ride level, TOTAL weight and types of terrain. Thanks again.
@slaverace12 жыл бұрын
Hello: It is a "basics" video but applies to all levels of riders. I see plenty of upper level riders with horrible suspension set-up. Our website has anything and everything you could possibly need for a KTM, HQV, GasGas, including accurate spring rate charts. The RT calculator is a joke as are other calculators. The purpose of springs is to support the combined weight of the bike and rider (including gear) and has little to do with rider skill level or types of terrain. If you are an advanced rider you might need stiffer valving but not stiffer springs than recommended on the charts.

Head bearings have no play, but steering feels really "loose" at 50mph plus. For example, If I am riding along and I initial a slight wobble (terrible idea) the steering feels like it might escalate in to a high speed wobble… BUT it doesn’t, it settles back to straight. Is this normal? My other bikes don’t seem to steer so freely at speed. This is a 2024 FE501s for the record. I bought new fork and shock spring from you guys as well as preload spacers, oil, 50mm fork tool. That all went great by the way, suspension feels very nice :). I am just a little sketched out about the steering at speed.

Good tips Jeff although it does give me pause that some of these things need mentioning 😂 It takes all types I guess. My question is about lowering a 300 pds for a light shorter rider trail riding for fun, not doing big jumps nor hard enduro stuff. A couple inches would be awesome mainly for having to get a foot down in rutted, washed out, dips, and otherwise uneven terrain. The lost travel and ground clearance wouldn't be a concern. I know I could send off the shock and forks to a trusted outfit and not be worried about the details. But I don't have the budget for that. Do you have any suggestions for componentry and procedures for a mechanic doing it myself? If that's too much for a quick comment answer, could you maybe please do a video on the topic? Much obliged sir, good people! Cheers!

@@slaverace1 I will Jeff, thanks! I just need a few days to tend to other projects first but this is exciting, I'm gonna make this happen. Meanwhile please let me ask you personally this about the springs: if I use just the spacers only with my stock springs, will it essentially just increase the preload? I have an ims 5.3gal tank putting more weight on the forks, currently have the preload adjustment at max, and my gut feeling like more wouldn't hurt. Or would the stock springs then touch coils and limit stroke at compression with the spacers and preload adjustment backed out to min? Me with my gear and the extra fuel is below the max weight for the chart in the manual referencing rear spring rates (my manual doesn't mention front spring rate options, only rear). It doesn't feel like I need higher rate springs. It just feels like it's usually operating a little compressed in the stroke where the damping is greater. And I've tried opening the rebound valve fully but to no apparent avail. That's why I'm thinking more preload. I wish I had a way of measuring the parameters instead of going by feel. 😂☮️

You mentioned tire weight . . . thoughts on UHD Bridgestones or mousses in regards to suspension working harder? I'm a few months behind you in age riding / racing Southeastern US on locally tuned suspenders. Most people comment how soft it is. Too soft and it affects turning, too stiff and it feels like it's going to break loose (probably in my head). Always a compromise (XPLOR / DelSagio + stock / modified valving).
@slaverace1 Жыл бұрын
Hello C Bob: UHD tubes are extremely heavy and the gyroscopic effect of that weight seriously downgrades how the bike turns and how quickly it changes direction. It also drastically reduces suspension performance. UHD tubes are one of the worst things you can do to your bike. The current Nitro mousses are too heavy but Michelins are not too bad.
