I've seen many MANY video tutorials on suspension setup.. this is BY FAR the best one that made the most sense to me.. kudos :)

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

So glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and for the comment.

@RG-rt7fp 6 лет назад

Well done. Nicely explained. I just bought a '17 250 EXC-F and this video is an excellent aid vs just reading the owner's manual.

@Howling-Mad-Murdock 4 года назад

Interesting, I’ve never seen anyone say you can set how high in the travel a bike sits with high-speed compression. My understanding is that high-speed compression is used to adjust bottoming resistance from big hits.

Thx for the video I was having trouble with directions in the owners manual. It’s always helpful to make a mark on the adjusting ring to count each full turn before adjusting.

Great f’ing video! Now I feel confident making the necessary adjustments and understand what it is doing. I’ve read the manual, but didn’t feel comfortable making the adjustments. I didn’t grow up riding MX, so this is all new to me. Thanks much Upshift.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 4 года назад

You can always go back to where it was from the factory easily enough if you keep track. So make some changes and figure out what works for you.

@feelingmoodie576 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this video as I am 240 fully geared and feel like my front suspension is diving.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

Is your suspension stock? 240 is well outside the intended range from the factory. Adjusting your suspension is key, but you probably need to be resprung first.

@feelingmoodie576 2 года назад

@@UPSHIFT_ONLINE It is stock.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

We encourage you to get your suspension tuned for you specifically. Correct springs, valving and fluids will make a world of difference.

@skavoovie555 5 лет назад

Hello there. For the rebound, the manual said if you turn clockwise, there will be more rebound. If you turn it anti-clockwise, it will have less rebound. In your video its the other way around. Any comment about this?

Thank you for putting this out there clearly and in easy to understand talk! More than my dealer sales guys knew that’s for sure. Any chance you have a link for the rear fender cleanup on that bike? Looking to lose the assembly and mount the plate clean and high like that.

Call the guys at 3 Brothers Racing. They make a really nice one. But it's not something they sell online. 3brosktm.com/

Great video, thank you. I ride a 2019 KTM 450 EXC. I'm about 93kg with riding gear. I've been told to replace the rear spring to a srsp-6023p60. Is this the correct spring? Thanks

@Abstract180 5 лет назад

Do you have a video on valve adjustments for this bike? This should be of interest in anybody that wants to buy one. It has the shortest valve checks of any street legal bike being sold. Great bike, but painful maintenance intervals.

@HumbertoRosero 5 лет назад

when you guys will do a video about how to set up the front suspension for the 1090 adventure R 2017

@Ridingpower_com 6 лет назад

nice and easy.. thanks a lot sir.. :D

@cameroncardoza9715 5 лет назад

Ok I'm kinda confused on the front fork adjustment. The white knob controls the compression for both sides and the red controls the rebound for both sides?

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 4 года назад

Well the forks on newer KTMs are single function. Meaning the left leg handles compression and the right leg handles rebound instead on both legs having both rebound and compression. It makes for a simpler more cost effective system to produce. Many aftermarket suspension tuners do offer the ability to go back a dual function fork setup if you need higher performance.

@sagarthapa3765 3 года назад

So Six Days has pre load adjustability as well, do you think it is something one should look for if building a EXC 500 for multi country trips?

@rodolfocastillo6030 5 лет назад

Hi. I have a Ktm enduro 2013. Is it possible that I can put a set of plastics 2017 ??

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 5 лет назад

Not likely. The front fender might bolt up without too much modification.

@harrytapley1872 2 года назад

Thank you for the vid, it's now 2022 , the suspension is the same but the world has changed... we're living in a semi- apocalyptic world where KTM no longer offers printed service manuals 😭😂😭

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

You can find the manuals online and if need be print what you need. It bugged us at first, but now we prefer it.

@regdavenport3715 6 лет назад

Um that is not how you adjust sag. That is how you set static sag. If the rider sag is too much then you need a higher rate spring.

@kristoffergaard8648 5 лет назад

4:40 Pretty sure you got it backwards. If you increase rebound (+) then it will come back faster. Please confirm. Thanks!

@lbeck119 5 лет назад

That's exactly what ping said!

@jacobcall1699 2 года назад

It's rebound dampening. So adding dampening makes it come back slower.

@Raulmay67 2 года назад

What’s your opinion on settings for big heavy riders?

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

You need to re-spring and re-valve your suspension. Unfortunately, clickers aren't going to get you there.

@FanOWater 5 лет назад

Great info . Thanks. Question - you don't set sag on the front fork?

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 5 лет назад

No, sag is only set on the rear shock.

so how about front preload adjustment?

@AyejayyYT 3 года назад

Does the amount of clicks go for a ktm 500 2015 aswell do you know?

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

We couldn't tell you for certain. Your manual should outline it. If you don't have a paper manual, KTM has them available online.

@jimmyandersson5135 6 лет назад

i tried everything in this video but its still soft as hell... feels like nothing happens, could they be broken?

@brandonglanville2991 6 лет назад

Hey Jimmy, if the adjustment available within the range of the clickers is not giving you the desired stiffness, you may need to look into getting your suspension re-valved and sprung for your weight and riding style. At the end of the day, the clicker adjustments are really meant to be a "fine tune" from a strong baseline. Stock suspension settings, unfortunately, are not ideal for everybody. We work with Konflict and Racetech for most of our suspension needs. Let us know what you find.

@dirtbikekid6413 Год назад

On my 500 its super hard to turn the spring

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 10 месяцев назад

It’s not easy… there is a lot of tension there.

@russssh 2 года назад

Why isn’t there compression and rebound on both sides? I don’t understand how rebound can be on just one fork and compression on one fork.

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 2 года назад

One fork leg handles compression and one fork leg handles the rebound.

@rosselliott7375 3 года назад

What about if your bike is lowered? do you measure the sag the same but - the mm the bike is lowered?

@UPSHIFT_ONLINE 3 года назад

We would recommend contacting whoever lowered it for you. If you used a lowering link, there should have been a chart in the package or on their website.

Never take a bike off the showroom floor and assume the setting are right. Or that all the bolts are tight. We always tear our bikes down and get them prepped thoroughly. Lessons learned the hard way. ;)
