    I've seen loads of bikes with the ktech stickers on them but never knew who they were so it was interesting to get an insight into what they do really enjoyed this one lee,you should do more vids that give us insight to all the different company's you go too for parts etc

    The one thing not mentioned Lee was the cost which would be good for all of us to know how much these things put you racers out of pocket ??? and might make up
    our minds to do it or not to our steeds ?? Great up load as always Thanks fella these insights are bloody great !!

      @ct9683 2 роки тому

      I’m a Ktech supplier and that was most likely the DDS cartridge kit.
      Cost varies on bikes but it’s £1700 and worth every penny when your at lees pace.
      They have cheaper alternatives that are still great systems.
      Shocks start at £450 and go up to 4.5k
      He will also be using data locking so looking near 10k worth of product on suspension alone.

    Just listened to your TT podcast. Brilliant! I’m a AS sufferer too, also on Anti TNF, unfortunately most of damage done before getting on the meds program. Still manage the odd track day though on my KTM1290 and I’m also an aeroplane aerobatics nut to boot. The meds should keep you well and I wish you every success in 2022 and the years to come. You’re an absolute star Lee. Love your channel. Keep it up. All the best.

    Never knew damping and rebound in different fork legs. I'm sure my first bike, 1960's Raleigh Runabout used a different system. Perhaps the world has made some progress but I sure as hell miss the 70's.

    • @Errol.C-nz

      SFF forks.. Single Function Forks.. apparently cheaper to make high performance damping.. not sure that theyre as good as dual function though.. motogp dont use them

    Suspension is so critical, im from a mX background ( Ginger Mick Fan) 😂 but sometimes i got it right. Still cant get over how little of tje R6 you use, i understand the exchanging of parts but lots of work for the big man, wouldnt it be easier to just get rolling chassis.
