Күн бұрын

Something a little different to the usual vlogs, I spent the day with K Tech suspension to find out how they set my motorcross suspension up for racing, it's pretty cool to see from my feedback how they make changes to suit my riding style. For me suspension is one of the most important things to get right on your bike so I would highly recommend giving them a call to set you up.
Part 2 coming soon where I try out the new changes and give feedback on my thoughts.
➕ COMPETITION DETAILS 8:34 - you can win a full suspension tune (front & Rear) for your bike (any model)
All you have to do is comment on this video the reason why you want it doing. (can be funny or serious) and make sure you follow K Tech suspension on Instagram. / ktechsuspension .

17 year old boy from Norway, loves to see your videoes. Mom just bought me a new Husqvarna tc250, and all i want for my birthday february 17th. is a complete suspensjon set from k-tech ❤️ i would be so proud ✌️🇳🇴🏁 #braaap

Think your iconic rider for starter... recently jus bought my first big crosser 250cc givin her a lot of tlc and love all day every day in the garage with her... I’ve entered and registered with AMCA this year hopefully we can get a few races this year due to Covid making it difficult... I would really appreciate a suspension set up to help develop my first dirt bike for racing this year she’s had new clutch, jets, clutch cable and levers, kick start gaskets seals can cover seal spark plug oil change about ten times lol. New filters both air an oil shot blasted the frame coz someone sprayed it... all she needs is decent suspension and an sport performance exhaust and am away... thanks a lot for your time and opportunity Tommy 🙏

Well done Tommy, I did mine with them on a CRF 450 2008, but sent them a shock from a 2014x and they did it for me and enduro, and it is amazing. I can tell you that the low friction piston does make a difference.

@crashtestpanda 3 жыл бұрын

I would like the service as I am a 17 stone rider on stock 350 exc suspension so its a tad on the soft side for me but I have done weston twice on it so can't complain about reliability. I have been meaning to get it sorted but spoken to a few individual suspension companies and had various comments from get different forks to use ktech's orvs system on the front. Then with the rear get the bladder kit or a aluminium piston instead of plastic one in the shock. So gave up and carried on fumbling around with the occasional harsh bottom out 😂🤣 I like to know what I'm getting really is the most sensible thing for me and value for money. I think to many people just go and by cone valves because jeffrey uses them and never get the best out of them so I didn't want to do that. Regardless of a competition win I will be going to ktech to get myself sorted before the hopeful 2021 season. Thanks for the insite on suspension tech.

I’d like my suspension serviced because over the last year or two I’ve got a lot faster and I can feel my suspension isn’t set up correctly and isn’t able to cope with what I demand of it but sadly recently me and my parents haven’t had the money to pay for the changes due to circumstances . So over the last season I’ve just been riding it and doing the best I can , I’d love to have my suspension done. Thanks!

I think it would improve my riding loads as suspension is definitely a key thing. I ride most weekends trying to get better and stronger on the bike, trying to get my confidence back. To know that I would have a ktech suspension on my bike fitted for me and my spec would definitely be a weight of my shoulder knowing that they are good and reliable. I have watched Tommy searle for ages and he was at the track I crashed at before (Maxstoke) thanks 👍

Just put the K-Tech ORVS Fork Piston Kit and a revalve in my Freeride’s XPLOR fork. The hold up is much better, and as a result corners much better. Would love to get something done to the 4CS fork on my 250F now. I ride too aggressively for that mediocre stock setup. It’s leaving a little to be desired especially after riding my Freeride. So much out there about how to fix the 4CS. Not really sure what to believe or how much actually needs to be spent on it to make it good enough.
