Best “how to lower suspension” video out there fr
As someone who has been looking for one I agree 🤣
Thanks for the video. I dig the palmetto armory sticker. 👍🏼
so weird because I stumbled upon this after contemplating about putting my extra palmetto sticker on my bike.
Thanks for this video. Was having a frozen brain moment... this cleared it up: 2013 yamaha XT 250.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Rodney Patrick Instablaster =)
@Justus Pierce i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Justus Pierce it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Rodney Patrick No problem =)
To make it stiffer you want pressure on it right to compress the spring? And prob gunna need tht spring wrench?
If you are looking for the best syspension performance, best handling possible and as safe as possible, lowering a bike is a lot more complicated than that. If you want to learn more about it, "Race Tech" sells a great book called "The suspension bible".
I heard lowering the front can make it more stable. My dr650 gets really shaky with the wind its sketchy
wadup fam! im the same height as you and I would like to know how did it work out for you after adjusting the suspension? any problems? looking for a way to lower my 2023 yz125x without causing another issue feel me!?
You can lower the front tubes for height adjustments ...but as far as the rear...I think your only softening the suspension and not really lowering it......Am I wrong ???
So move those rings up for a softer shock? Curious bc I'm a tall rider but only weight 170 I find the rear shock is quite stiff for my weight, I think the bike was preset for a rider around 190, will this solve my problem?
@@nicholasvankoughnett4558 i’m pretty sure up makes the suspension stiffer and down makes it’s softer. if you think about it the shock is less compressed the higher the rings are so it makes the suspension need more force to compress it
Those shock collars that tighten the spring are not for setting ride height to where you want it. To set up the right spring stiffness for a MX bike, you take 3 measurements from the axle to some point up on the fender, (most bikes measure straight up a point on the fender.).
1) the measurement with the wheel off the ground, fully extended.
2) the measurement with you sitting or standing on the bike in your riding position. About 1/3rd of your total travel should be used up there.
3) the measurement of just the bike weight, (tells you if your spring is to stiff or soft). After you get the sag set, (the 1/3rd of travel with you on the bike.), the bike by itself should be about 20-30mm with the bike weight itself. If it is less, you need a stiffer spring, and visa-versa if it is more.
You are right about it getting much softer by relaxing the spring to lower the bike. He probably sits on it and used 1/2 the travel, and bottoms out easily while steering like a school bus. :)
@@Slayer-cl8jiyes ur right
I have a stock 05 yz450f. And I’m 5’11 350. I wonder if I go down with suspension if it would remove a lot of sag till I can buy a suspension that will hold MY weight. Any suggestions on a Rear end shock?
I recommend Elka Suspension! Better for bigger riders
If you wait 350 pounds you’re definitely gonna have to buy the most expensive shark out there or not to be mean man you might wanna lose a little bit of weight -ELKA
I’m not heavy but my rear suspension is too soft. If i want it to be stiffer what will I do?
I want it to be stiffer. Do I go down with the spring or up?
@@bjperez6868 probably down to tighten it
Tight your spring to make it stiffer then it will sag less. So down it is..
So I go up if I want the bike to be lowered slightly?
@@robhayter484Yes sounds like you tighten the spring down to make the suspension stiffer, If you want your suspension to be softer you would loosin the shock like he did.
You can turn the spring by hand which will move the bigger nut its as😊 easy as that
That’s crazy your rear shock is that easy to move. I can’t for the life of me get my preload adjuster to move easily… Even a flathead and hammering it does not turn it very well even using wd40
Me too did you get it to turn tho?
I did@@Thatgreeninja1k
Aye just use WD40 instead of the tooth brush
So where you will adjust the preload and rebound?
Never heard of either of them. It sounds nice though man 👍
@@rcranch3838 its called 'sag' in other words
The preload is how much you compress the spring with those adjusters. The rebound adjustment is a little screw adjuster usually in the bottom clevis of the shock. It controls how fast the wheel "rebounds" to full extension. So if you get a stiffer spring, you may need more rebound dampening (slower) to control the stiffer spring.
Does it take a while
see i was going to buy the tool but i am not sure what size it is on the KLX 140L
great simple video

Are you kidding me? You get rid of all your preload, that's your fix? Do not follow this advice.
What is the size code of wheel bearing of this bike ?please reply me
To be honest I’m not quite sure on this bike. What I would do is look up the bikes oem parts list and find the code for it. If you can get the code you should be able to reference it to a Bearing. Also with these bikes a lot of 610 parts do transfer from the dirt bike version to the sumo version as well.
Great video. Thank you mate.
What size bike is it ?
you going to lower shock
I need to harden a suspension, cuz im a 165 cm 60 kilos guy and i have a child KTM SX65 and thass shit is small and I don't have another bike and i want to harden the susp, cause I'm just killing it
You sound like your killing it , do you ever get a hole shot ???
@@FirstGendodgegarage this year I have enough money to buy a 125 and I'm happy that I'll retire the KTM. Sometimes the rims are bend, because I'm over the weight limit.
Live saving vid!
How mush air goes in rear shock
It is nitrogen, and around 140-150 psi. You can buy a fill kit for a few hundred bucks and get the nitrogen bottle from a welding supply shop.
Dont ask this guy, hes a knuckle head
Great job
It’s not height I wanna lower a mini moto and turn it into a cafe racer
good video bro
I'm from Ukraine я из Украины
Hey Willy is that my tooth brush
Yea dirt and grime clean your teeth amazingly. No it’s an old one lol
Appreciate u bro
Why not try a pocket bike? Will suit your height
Remind me not to let you destroy my bikes nuts
You cannot - ever lower - the travel of. It's fixed - in acts of. Loaned Land Act
Seek Jesus! Repent for the Kingdom is at hand! Jesus is the way! The truth! And the life! He’s the ONLY way! Open the Bible, read and understand that we are in the last days! Put your full trust in him! Believe 1 Corinthians 15 1-4!
Amen brother! I be trying to let them know as well! We are living in the days just prior to his return! Much love! Thankyou for sharing the gosple. He changed my whole life gave me a new heart and a new mind! The power of Christ is without paralell. He is everything.
I have a kx 100 and i wanna raise my forks
Try stiffer springs.
They won't "raise the forks", (which you would not want to do), but if you bottom them easily, it will fix that problem.
No offence but if you want to get your suspension set correctly you don't set it for seat height you adjust it for the riders riding weight and riding style and conditions. If you adjust if for seat height according to your height your suspension could be way off.....even dangerous.
