Thanks for the video... I got the magic number without having to refer to the manual! 104 - 110mm it is! I don't think they are aluminium lock rings by the way... zinc plated steel - yes.

Zinc plated steel, yes. KTM makes theirs out of plastic I have read in mags, and of course, they are hated.

You’ll probably need heavier weight rated springs bro

Transmoto sir: I just picked up a slightly used 2019 YZ250 2-stroke, weigh 230lbs and just set the sag to 105mm. I remember in the old days a second measurement was used to determine if you need a different spring rate. Last, we measured the sag under the bikes own weight, (sans rider). Mine is .625" (about 15.9mm). I think I need a stiffer spring because that number is so low, but I forgot what measurement/number they used to make the decision to go with a different spring. What do you know about it please? Thank you.

My 2021 450f says 1 turn equals 1.5mm. in the manual. Yamaha must have fine tuned the adjustment increments on the 2018 and newer bikes.

do you set the sag when you pick the bike up from the dealer or after you break in the suspension for about ten hours?
@tman4tw8384 жыл бұрын
you do it when you first get the bike and when it gets broken in
@andrewbecker37003 жыл бұрын
If its within spec just ride it for a couple hours and then set it and forget it.

Is static and free sag a big deal?
@twowheelpilot2 жыл бұрын
Yes. Huge deal. Wrong sag makes for some odd handling traits.

I know there are WR 450F uncorking videos on KZbin, but as a potential new WR 450F owner, I'd like to see another one including the install of the competition ECU.

Even if the tape was on zero there would still be know adding or subtracting, instead of being 180mm it would just b3 80mm, Confusing for no reason

Does a higher sag number raises the rear? Or lowers it?

I don’t know shit or what they are talking about, I adjusted my bike bc I weigh 190lbs, and I am 6ft2. But only adjusted bc I felt the bike was low, I know nothing about sag, I just adjust and rip, seems like overkill to be so specific locked on, I’d love to learn if anyone is willing to help me out
@EarthSurferUSA4 жыл бұрын
Yes. setting the sag, (rule of thumb is 1/3 of the total suspension travel), gets your frame geometry, (head angle) where the frame is designed for the best corning and "straight line stability" compromise. But there is more to it than in this vid. As a heavier guy, when you get your sag set, we also measure how much the bike squats under it's own weight. I am 230 and just set my sag, but it only squats .625" by it's own weight., so I think I need a heavier spring with less preload, (which should sag more under the bikes weight). I just don't know what the number is that tells me I could use a stiffer spring. If you want the best handling and suspension action, the work is needed. To me, that also means a safer bike. I just bought a YZ250 after not riding for 17 years, (my 11th dirt bike over my life). After I get some speed back, I will have to go stiffer on the springs. :) Damn, I feel like a friggen beginner right now (rode it once so far, just down a road side). Rusty!
