Thanks for the compliment. Honored to be saving a life every day.

@@CatalystReactionSBW You literally will be saving lives with this advice. I'm not kidding. Awesome.

Thank you for watching and posting your kind words!

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching and being willing to learn!

15w or 20w oil based on your speed and skills. Yes, same volume as stock.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btWdbNKhupu1Zas.html will get you bottom out, then you want 15-20mm from that

@@CatalystReactionSBW thanks alot Steve, for some reason I've missed this video of yours...

Don’t you mean linear springs?

@@wirenut3020 I just changed the oil and stayed with original spring, put an O ring that increses the pre-charge of the spring and the suspension its working so much better now... its harder but not too much, and it works so good on hard breaking. I think its a must.

​@@VLGSHowwhat oil did you use?

@@dominikmicek1578 idk but it doesnt matter, my mechanic did it for me... But if its SAE 15 will be no problem.

Hi Colin. Thanks for the kind words! Every motorcycle is the same process with geometry, suspension and tire pressures. You've changed the front for stability and that will load the front more so you should try 2-4psi more than current cold pressure. For the rear, know what maximum and minimum pressures are for the air shocks. Start with minimum and maximum, then 50% 0f the way. You will feel what side is best for you +/- 50% and then work in increments to find your pressure for solo and then 2 up/loaded etc.

@@CatalystReactionSBW Thanks Dave for great advice. Will try that from tomorrow. I forgot to add, I asked given your expertise, due to mine of mis-information out there - and its obvious its wrong most of the time. I find your vids fasinating and the fact that everyone states what a difference you make to the handling of their bikes. This made me dare to beg the question given I ride an "old mans" bike 🙂 I followed your advice some time ago on lever adjustments etc. Made a big difference to my ride. So many thanks to all the work it must take you to put this out there. Much appreciated!!

1. Cable tie to see how much fork travel you use to assess if you are close to bottom out or the opposite. 2. Hold the front brake on and move the bike forward and backward to see if you can hear something. That is normally the brake pads moving in the caliper via free play. 3. Check the rotor buttons to see if there is excessive free play. 4. See if the head bearings are loose.

I have not seen a kit for this bike to know if there are top out springs in the cartridges? The extension and clunk would be the top out springs being compressed very quickly. For a safety check, put the bike on the center stand and loosen the fork caps to make sure they are still attached to the rods. If all is well there, I would contact K-Tech for information on top our springs in the kit.

@@CatalystReactionSBW I will definitely investigate this. Thank you very much Mr Moss!

1. Take a photograph of you sitting on the bike from the front and rear. See if your arm angles are different from shoulder to the bar. 2. Take a photograph of your legs on each side of the bike to check the knee angle. 3. Put your foot under the shifter and pull it to the top of the stroke and see what your ankle angle is. 4. Watch this video to see what you can improve: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ap2JepeVpt2zeYE.html. My guess is that you need 25-35mm of seat foam added to the OEM seat as your knee angle is too acute, shifter is too high and bars are slightly offset for your body (bars do not need to be centered - I center the human first).

@@CatalystReactionSBW Subscribed. Bought a 2022 KTM 390 Duke. 5'10" and could not touch the ground. I check the rear shock and it was set to 4 or 5 preload. Backed it off to Min (out of 10 possible) and I could touch the ground almost flat footed. Handles like butter but no bottoming out and really fun to ride at 6/10ths running it in still. Love ya channel mate! From Australia.

@@theaustralianconundrum Excellent work and thank you for using my video content as a knowledge base.

@@CatalystReactionSBW I'm embarrassed to admit to never checking suspension settings whilst owning several litre bikes from 2002- current day. But you've put me right now mate and it's a GREAT service to all of us. Just brilliant. Cheers.

@@theaustralianconundrum I was ion the same position - rode from the mid 70's to 90's and didn't change a thing other than fork oil as my dad told me to. Maturity and critical or contrary thinking started me on this journey so thanks for having a go and rolling your sleeves up.
