As ever, an informative, clear and humorous presentation. Great!

Your a bloody legend mate! I just went straight for your settings, I am 175cm and 78kg and that has now transformed my bike to an even more reliable ride. Thanks for your efforts!

One thing I had to wrap my head around was that when people are talking about rebound and compression, it's actually rebound DAMPING and compression DAMPING. That means a rebound dampening setting of fully clockwise = slow rebound! Compression dampening fully clockwise = harder/slower through the stroke!

Forgot to mention very important fact - shock rebound almost always also affects compression damping. So by adjusting rebound you affect overall damping, not just rebound unfortunately

You should usually feel rear more, most of your weight and movement is supported by rear shock, forks ull feel mostly on hands

if your rebound is more slow than your compression your suspension will pack (getting shorter and shorter) when moving over uneven surfaces - allways make sure that the rebound is faster than the compression - you can also observe that is the case when following one of the many stock recommendations

The opening analogy Washington on point! Great video!

Well done, I realy like your suspension related videos a lot, they help to understand the suspension system better and how to match them better to personal needs. Keep up your great work!

Another great suspension related video! This kinda completes the previous ones (on the T7). Keep up the good work!

people make suspension far more complicated than it actually is , it really isnt that complicated especially on this bike that has fewer adjustments than the other ktm's ive had , unfortunately , this series does a good job of explaining

Watched all 4 of your suspension videos after coming across this one. Liked all of them and subscribed to the channel. Buying your off-road course even just as a big thank you for all the great and clear info on this topic (but looking forward to improving my skills watching them, applying tips and doing suggested excursuses). I have done a prepayment for Norden 901 expedition after 10 years on 4 wheels only (last bike was a 2010 Z1000) and want to really know all the ins and outs about it. Already read all the manual and watched quite a few of great off road tutorial videos… I used to own Yamaha TTR-125LW as my first serious bike (after owning a 3-gears 50cc moped for a few years), so had some pretty good off road experience before getting to roads at age of 16 with a Honda CB400SF… Of course back than there was no great youtube tutorials out there… I think it was only with the Z1000 when I bought some books about motorcycle riding… Anyway:) Thanks a ton, brother!🤝 Ride safe everyone, have fun and great learning times!👍

That helped me out a ton, especially since I am planning on buying the Norden's slightly crazier brother, the 890 Adventure R.

I don't care too much about all this, because my bike has only preload adjustment, but I watched your video with great interest, because I like your videos so much! :)

Amazing video like always, lots of information with a slice of humor. And also very usefull, I was having a hard time with the shock, and you gave me the nice ideia of trying to increase suspension travel by going for preload, I still think the shock is to soft and I dont even travel with a passanger ... but will try to think outside the box like you and see if i find a goldie locks zone with the oem .

This helped a lot man, thanks.

I have the 790 adv R and is just more aggressive on suspension settings but is the same way to adjust. Good video

Hi there. I will be picking up my Norden in a few weeks. That said, I noted down your suspension settings, but I didn't catch your weight. Care to share? Thanks.

like for doing the stairs

Brilliant intro!🤣🤣

Great video again !

Now I just need to work up the courage to touch my suspension.

thank you for the video :) which crashbars are on the Norden? they look awesome.

Thank you! 👍

Great video, very helpful…would you mind letting me know what crash bars your are using on the Norden in the video?

Useful thanks

Viva Diogo, parabéns pelo excelente conteúdo com que nos presenteias. Utilizas 1.6bar nos dois pneus mesmo em estrada? Como se comporta em velocidades mais elevadas?

You point to empty air when you say to watch the video on tire pressure 😉

Can you tell me the maker of the engine protection bars on the Norden. I have look at many different makes but I like this design on your bike and would like to get a set of upper and lower bars.

What upper crash bars are you using please?

Ótimo, agora só preciso de uma moto que tenha ajuste de suspensão dianteira kkk.
