Congrats, I’ll give you a quick rundown: -You basically want to find your spring rate first -Start by setting your inner chamber and balance chamber -don’t worry about the outer chamber for now -You’re going to want a little more pressure in your balance chamber down below, then you do in your inner chamber up above -these two chambers work against each other. The reason you want a little bit more in your balance chamber is because it will pull the forks downward a little bit, making the bike handle a little bit better - rather than having your outer chamber pushing the forks out to full extension all the time. That makes the bike, rigid, and handle poorly. -you want the front forks to be compliant and be able to dive into turns. For example, with the stock rear spring installed in the bike, my fork settings were 178 psi in the inner chamber, and 190 psi in the balance chamber. -Those pressures may not work for you, but you can see the conjunction the two numbers now, where the balance chamber has a higher pressure, thus allowing the fork to compress a little bit. -The inner chamber extends the fork, when filled with air, the balance chamber drags the fork back in when filled with air. They work directly against each other. You can try my pressures to start, and see if you can get the fork to use all of its travel in your regular riding conditions. you want to use your forks travel, super important. If you notice that your forks do not fully compress all the way, after you’ve warmed up and hit some obstacles, pretty hard, then back down on those pressures. Do it evenly if you are using my pressures as a baseline. Example: if the forks are not compressing all the way, and you need to reduce the pressures, make sure they are 12 psi apart, just like the baseline pressures are (178/190). So if you drop 178 down to 176, then drop the 190 down to 188. Hope that makes sense. If you’re bottoming out really badly, increase the pressure is equally. Just the opposite. Here’s where we can add a little more fine-tuning: I have not mentioned the outer chamber, yet, start with it at zero psi If you find that you like the way, your inner chamber and balance chamber are working, and they feel really good everywhere except they tend to bottom out sort of hard, you can add pressure into the outer chamber, like five psi to start, and this will help the fork not bottom out at the very very end of its travel. Use it to fine tune. It is like adding oil and forks that have a coil springs. I wasn’t able to do this online because the forks were blown, so they would naturally be at zero all day. The outer chamber does let air out if you have blown fork seals. After all of this, you can start playing with your clickers. You will eventually find something that works between everything, including the clickers. Start with the air pressure, take your time, the set ups require patience. Once you find a spring rate, a.k.a. air pressure that you like, move onto your clickers, and start adjusting those one or two clicks at a time. Keep in mind that before you do anything at all with your front forks, you first need to set your shocks sag in the rear. Easy to do. If you don’t know how, there are many amazing videos. If you are too light or too heavy for your rear spring, fix that first, then set the SAG, then move onto your forks. Once you get all of that dialed in, you will have a very well handling machine. But never at its full potential if you do not address both ends. Most importantly, have fun!

showa sff air fork app it works trust me

Ones compression the other is for rebound... And the forks are the least of the worries on that bike, it's the BRFC shock that is the major issue... send it off to Race Tech or somewhere that knows what they're doing.

You are spot on! I searched and searched for a few months when I realized I wanted to do this, for a 2012 model specifically. Really hard to find them not clapped out at their age now. Also realized it was the best idea to go with the newest and last generation of that frame in that body style. Still able to get complete exhaust systems in other parts quite readily 😍

Hell yeah, dude

Thanks Brady! You know where my heart is at!

Same here

Thank you! That made it a really great day indeed, all the Suzuki action!

What were the odds of that? What a great day!

@@mxrevival I didn't get to watch the races till late last night and then I watched your video. Only thing that came to mind was what a coincidence!!!

Thanks dude! I really love that about the new Suzukis too. Definitely helps with the Kenny look too

Hi Mike, I did start opening up all the boxes and bubble wrapped items that have been untouched since we moved here… have some great coated parts back from fast blast… just need to figure out how that bike is going to fit into company progress and building a good life.

Really glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Tony 🙌

That’s a fact!

You bet! Pro Circuit system just showed up, and I do have some wheels for it. I just need to build them. Gold hubs, gold, nipples, black rims.

I’ll have to check that out, thank you for the recommend! Have a great day Todd 💪

Gets me pumped!

Same! Great bike! I’m ready for a new model though, too. Let’s go, Suzuki!

Right on, should’ve said hi. Will be out there again today. I’ll be the slow one.

How crazy is it you put this video out of a K-Roc replica and he wins the same day? Go Kickstart Kenny!

@@brettlaage9687 gave him good luck charm

Wasn’t that Epix?

@@mxrevival I have to say, I didn’t think he would hold on like he did. After all he has been through, he seems to run out of gas while Tomac seems to come to life towards the end usually. Sexton is good, but has too many mistakes. I was so excited, I was jumping up and down during the last two turns! Holding the kickstart lever at the end was epic for sure!

‼️

Stoked to be able to help, Greg! Thanks for watching 💪

Dude, so true! There’s no way that Kenny didn’t catch feelings when he got onto his new ride, flashbacks of those days.

Thanks dude, I’m ready to go get some scratches in it

@@mxrevival , go grip it and rip it Buddy...I bet she feels good and will surprise you...Those 🍌 are stout for the Average guy.😁👍

You’re welcome! I’m not sure about the 250, but I would not be surprised if it was the same situation. Most likely they will also slide into the stock clamps. But you’ll find out with a simple measurement. They don’t typically spend any money they don’t have to on alternative part numbers. You can also do a spring conversion on your original stuff, and they will be quite good as well if you don’t like the air forks that is.

I took some great photos of it yesterday, and have been wanting to put a “screen saver” area in on the website for people to download. Previous builds, etc. I don’t have that up yet, but you can email me using the contact link on the website and I will send you some photos. 💪

I am so stoked on it, thank you

I need to look into that, I don’t remember it

Thanks G!

So sick! Thanks for watching Pierre!

Indeed!

🍋😍

It’s ridiculous, I don’t know either. Yet here we are. 😂

@@mxrevival the yellow black and red just works! Now bring it out to cali and come ride😂

Yeah, that was definitely one of the best deals I’ve gotten on eBay so far! The parts and mods never end haha. You can pick up inexpensive and oversized Tusk wave rotors too. They are actually pretty good and the front loader comes with that oversized bracket. Hope you get your RMZ!

@@mxrevival thanks! Me to brother Canada doesn’t allow us to have to much fun with our hard earned money 😂

There are some really good deals on the new forks out there. You could even go to the 47 mm set up and grab the corresponding triple clamps from 2012 or so. That will really help if you find your frame is rigid too. I believe they did some frame modifications in 15 to reduce some rigidity. Just a blow it all again in 2018. Ha ha.

No problem. The only plastic that will fit your bike is 2008 through 2017. You can check out a website called Pryme MX as they may carry a bracket that will let you put a 2023 front number plate and front fender on your bike

@@mxrevival thanks

Oh, easy! Reach out anytime & I will get you dialed in www.mxrevival.com/contact

I reckon you’ll get down at least one adult beverage!

FLAP

Yep! I believe I emailed you back today 🔥

Slowly digging parts and pieces out of storage after moving. Eventually.

I love it

What else is there, Brother 😍

😍😍😍

That bad boy slid right onto my RMX450Z!

Planning out a special day over here

Sometimes it ends up being something you can count on in a good way 😎

You can prob find a good deal on complete set Suzuki spring forks on eBay right now for pretty cheap and like Charles was saying they’ll probably just drop right in. I recently bought ‘06 RMZ450 forks with the stock triple clamps all for $300 bucks and a shock from ‘06 for $250. I saw a lot of Showa spring forks and shocks in decent shape for pretty cheap.

@@mxcollin95 only thing on ebay right now is a $900 pair, completely out of my budget

FLM, that’s bizarre! Sounds like you had a failure in your inner chamber cartridge. I ended up buying the parts to rebuild the fork seals and bushings in the 2016 forks before I made the video, but I could not believe how expensive just the fork seals and bushings were. Compared to most other bikes, there were very few options for some strange reason, and they were much more expensive than normal. Just something I noticed.

@@frontlinemedia4270 just keep an eye out. I just kept checking eBay for probably two months before I found some decent deals. When I first starting looking there was nothing, then a few over priced deals popped up before I saw anything I wanted to pull the trigger on.

@@mxcollin95 do you happen to know which forks will fit in a 2016 rmz450?

Haha needed to shuffle that old dog into another bike stall here 😍 you can get them brand new from DeCal Works too!

It was a good day indeed! That was awesome

Agree!

😂
