Sur Ron X Rear Suspension Upgrade|| Fox DHX2 vs Fox Float || Riser Linkage 

Great video guys, I always learn alot with you're content. I just bought that same link but haven't installed yet. This will help alot. Thx !

Keep the great Sur Ron content coming! Thanks!

Very Good video - Thanks I mount camera under bike so shows tire contact with ground - can See and adjust shocks better and faster

Thank you very much for the informative video.

Attach the outer triangle bolt last, folks - will make your life easier. That way you can more easily access the lower shock mount and run the bolt in the OEM orientation (left to right).

Great video! I wonder if the 2021 DHX2 and Float X2 will be tough enough to use on the Sur Ron, I once broke a Fox RC4 and DVO Jade on my Sur Ron

Sick! Is the bushing set up for the FLOAT X2 the 8mmx23.88 pn803-03-169?

Another great video guys. Having done this mod 6 months. ago I always cringe when I think about all the rusty link bearings out there. Couple thoughts; The stock spring will fit fine for lighter riders. I used the 550lb from Luna and it's perfect for my 180lbs. and aggressive riding. I run a 21/16 wheelset with the 1 1/2" rise link and get a 24 degree rake that I like for tight twisty races. On more open high speed courses like GP's I use the 3/4" rise link and get 28 degrees for more stability. I suspect that with your 21/18 wheelset the high rise link has you around 19 degrees rake which is typical for a trials bike. Might want to order the 3/4" rise as well. Once you add a high rise link your mud flap is too short to fit. I cut off the rear fender deal leaving 1 1/2" as a tab which I reshaped as a new mud flap mount with a heat gun and pliers, drilled and mounted. Works great and I still have the lower part of the fender to keep mud off the rear of the motor. Hope this helps. I've done a dozen mods no one else is doing and just wanted to share a few. Love you guys!

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever watched

great video. thank you!

Can you tell me which size bushing kit is required to install the float rear on the SurRon? There’s about 12 choices…. :0. Thanks.

can you tell how much more ground clearance you get when you install the riser linkage?

Just a tip, you should never hammer out a bare bolt end with a sledge like that, that’s how you can damage threads. Putting the nut back on a turn or two will help prevent that and give the hammer a larger surface to impact and drive bolt out. 🤙🏼

any follow up on the fox dhx2?

What ist your setting for the dhx2?

I have a woodie from Avalanche and its awesome! Custom made for the sur ron and your weight riding style. Best rear there is...

I had to use a 3.15 x 500 sls spring for mine 205 lbs never bottoms even on jumps...I would think 450 would be better for you. Fox sells the 3.5x500 and it doesn't fit anything lol. I called fox they said they didn't have a clue. LOL The air shock isn't the best choice for the surron..made for much lighter bikes..Which link did you use the 3/4 or 1 1/2? I have the 3/4 with my 26 mtb tire/wheel...Nice video....

Great video just wanted to see is you guys have any play in the riser link I bought two of them for my bikes in the past and there was to much play in the linkage after they were installed so I just went back to the stock links

What size did your friend get for the fox float?

Nice video. Just got a fox float. Missed out on a dhx2 by 2 hours One thing why does no one wash there SurRon before working on it 🤣

Is the Fox spring that you used compatible with the DNM shock? Great video!

You should have greased the linkage bearings also not just the sleeves.

What are the specs or part number for the Rear Suspension Bushings? Your description says M8x23.88. Do you mean Aluminum 803-03-169, 8mmx23.88? Also, if I'm 175lbs could I go heavier on the spring? e.g. 039-09-005

Do you need to order one or two bushings. Top and bottom or just the top? Thanks

Unrelated i know but do you run a motor temp sensor with the 12kw? Im worried about burning up the motor

I couldn’t find the size of the bushings that you said “m8x33.8”

Found lift linkages in 0.75”, 1.38” & 1.5”. Anyone know which size is best for a 19”/16” combo?

Hey guys do know how much weight you drop when you swap the KKE for the Fox 40 front shock?

How long until more BAC 4000s are available?

I don't think an air shock is a good match for this bike. There's too much unsprung weight on the rear swingarm and wheel to deal with and air shock will fade and overheat. Even a MTB coil shock is on the light duty side.

I got the same riser link you got but instead of using the stock 10.5x3.5 fast Ace shock I got a Dvo jade 9.5 x3.0 shock with everything bolted the height is same as the stock set up

Can you fit a 9.5x3 shock?

so we need 2 Rear Shock Mounting Reducer Kit?

DNM suspension is just mediocre....if you do soft trail running its ok ...as soon as you ride the bike like you would ride a MTB they are garbage. Very nice video.

I'm also using a 21-inch wheel and I'm trying to install DHx2, so I don't mind using a genuine link, right? As you told me, bushing is 8 millimeters 23 by 88. I bought it on the site of bike24 and there is no ring that you wear at the end of the picture. What should I do?

Did you loosen your wheel and chain first?

The spring recommendation does not make sense. If your shock has 3.5" of travel then you need that much or more in the spring. When adding any amount of preload it will remove travel from the spring. I went with the 450 lb/in X 3.65 Travel. It has a TLG of 8.1 and required just a bit of compression. I suspect you will not get full travel from your shock before the spring bottoms out on its self. On the fox site the fit chart data contradicts the spring chart data.

Is that the new battery in the end? Carbon fiber or vinyl?

👍🔥✌️🇷🇺

how did riley like the float?

Clean the bike before you work on it boys. Driving me nuts 🙂

Step one. Wash your bike bro 😎

Some good info here. But for heavens sake bro, clean your bike before you work on it :D
