Guys! New source for forks and triple tree! And the forks are way stiffer and silver! bombmoto.com/collections/b1-parts

Parts linked in description! This swap is only for the sx500, the 15mm axle is too short for a rsf650 or mx500/650. Check out my rsf fork swap video for details and you can combine both methods ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qRAJ_6bfbAw.html

@BLWN402 8 месяцев назад

@EmxBrandon Have you tried the Ride or Die fork kit? I'm just curious about the difference in height/length and stiffness... The Mototec upgrade would cost me around $230 with some nice bar clamps and the Ride or Die kits are $325 but include the complete brake kit which is maybe $50 or so. So with prices pretty close, just curious about ride quality and height. Thoughts?

@EmxBrandon 8 месяцев назад

I havent had them before, but they are ebay forks and most likely very similar to the tdpro forks on my mototec. I believe they offer them in a bunch of lengths? The Mototec is 635mm i think, but the big difference is the fork tube is smaller on the mototec forks 39/42 and the r&d forks are the normal 45/48 so they are alot heavier. If you got good power i prefer more weight, plus they will be alot stiffer than the mototec. But if you want it for a street setup the mototec forks are cushy! I love my rsf650 with the mototec forks, its smooth as butter. Quality is gonna be about the same between them, but the r&d triple tree is alot beefier than the cast mototec triple clamps. If you ride hard id say go with the r&d, when you order through mototec they charge alot for shipping so the prices may end up the same anyways.

@anthonymoy4471 10 месяцев назад

Thinking about doing this fork for my son and running my spare front wheel on his mx650 with mototec front hydro brakes from the site 🤔

@EmxBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Night and day difference! Just remember to order a 255mm length 15mm axle if you copy my method, since the mx headtube is longer than the sx!

@desertrider325 Год назад

Awesome video!! Thank you. Hey Would the rear shock in the motoec bolt up to the razor?

@EmxBrandon Год назад

Yeah! I threw the stock mototec rear shock on the sx! I would definitely recommend buying bigger bolts and drilling the shock tabs bigger though. The stock razor shock bolts are pretty thin and the shock itself will have play! Otherwise it felt night and day compared to the stock razor suspension!

@desertrider325 Год назад

@@EmxBrandon Thanks man, You think it would be worth it to try and make the swingarm fit?

@EmxBrandon Год назад

@Desert Rider its definitely been done before! You just have to move around the shock tabs on the razor frame otherwise the rear shock will bind and get stuck once its compressed enough. Hard to explain

@anthonymoy4471 10 месяцев назад

What is a better fork for trail ridding and bumps the mototec or say like fly pig forks or? What do you suggest broth3r

@EmxBrandon 10 месяцев назад

Trail riding you want softer suspension like the mototec, especially with how light the razors are once you start putting on 45/48mm forks they get very stiff which is terrible for trail riding. Definitely recommend the mototec forks if you can get ahold of them!

@orif3088 the sx has more battery room due to shock placement, but the mx650 has a stronger shock hoop on the swing arm. But honestly its all about preference.

You wont need anything from the e&c kit. The difference is their selling the shorter fork tube, with a 12in wheel.

Where did you get the spacer for the front brake rotor?

How did you get the already stick on the forks off

@EmxBrandon Месяц назад

I bought the triple clamps without the steer shaft. It needs to be pressed out or use a hammer and large socket. I'm assuming that's what your talking about?

hey i decided to go with the mototec and mod it like u so it can go 50mph but wats the weigh requirement? saw sum1 who said they weigh 185 but anything pass 200lbs will break it and im 5’10 206lbs (but i work at fedex so ima definitely burn sum calories)

@EmxBrandon Год назад

Nah you wont break it. Id definitely say get a decent resr shock to replace the stock one and maybe look into some drop pegs. But im 5'9 185 and i beat the hell out of it an extra 20 pounds wont hurt it 🤘 the stock bike weights 95idh pounds and mine probably weights 125 130 now and everythings solid

@skibidi269 Месяц назад

@@EmxBrandon also what do we need the larger axle for is it for the wheels or the steer tube because i have an mx500 and am thinking we use the stock steer tube axle and then the new axle for the wheel

@EmxBrandon Месяц назад

@skibidi269 the 15mm axle is for the steer tube. Since yours is a mx500 it will be longer. You won't be able to use the stock bolt since the triple clamps are much thicker than the steel plates the razors use. You'll need to figure out an adapter to adapt the holes of the mototec clamps to the size bolt youll need. I'm not sure if the crush tube inbetween the bearings of the sx500 headtube will accept a 15mm axle so if you go that route make sure it slides through and you get the correct size. I believe I used a 255mm long one for my rsf 650.

@skibidi269 Месяц назад

@@EmxBrandon so do you think the best route to go is buy the 255mm and 15mm axle first to see if it fits and if that fits it will work or is there something else that would need to fit as well?

@EmxBrandon Месяц назад

@skibidi269 yeah I would buy the 15mm axle and worst case find a crush tube that will accept a 15mm inside diameter you can replace on the inside of the headtube. Check out my most recent video with the triple tree adapter youll see how it's supposed to work
