- Suspensions are one of the most important parts of a dirt bike, but only a few people in the offroad community truly understand how they work. This video is the first one of a series in which I'm demystifying everything about suspensions and how they work, with the help of Technical Touch.

Excellent video and will definitely stay tuned for the next episode. Thank you! / Obrigado!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊💪
Enjoyed this video….you earned my subscription
Thank You
Thank you Larry!🙌 There's a lot more about suspensions on the channel, enjoy it 😁💪
Another awesome video!! And really wel explaining!!
thank you so much! 😁💪 don't miss the next episode, it will blow everyone's mind 😆
Love your channel! Keep it up man!
thank you so much! 😁💪💪
I still got a pair of 1990 KYb 41mm forks around that have a pair of bleed holes drilled on the dampening rods, homemade punched shims, custom valve bosses, custom Nylatron rod bushings, and some other crazy stuff. These forks were from my works yz250, they lacked separate low speed adjustments so all this was to get a good soft low speed dampening without the excessive front end dive, at the same time better high speed dampening. The ports in the rebound valve were also opened up and polished. I don't have the bike anymore but still have the forks and shock. We also cut the upper shock mounts off and changed the angle of the shock.
nice project!! 😁💪
What's a works yz250?
Perfect explanation , Thanks a lot
Thank you for watching! 😁 stay tuned for the next episodes! They won't disappoint 😉
Excellent tutorials as always, thank you Steps to Podium, holla from Athens!
thank you so much! I really appreciate it! greetings from Porto! 😀
Really good, and interesting Video!
Thank you so much! the next one will be even better! 😊
Yup, really simple/awesome explanation. You probably needed 30 min to get into more detail. This was a tease, but i realize this gets complicated, but look forward to more info on this topic
Thank you for that! 😁 you guys will get far more than 30 mins combined of suspension related videos in Offroad Engineered, don't worry 😉😆
Bom trabalho! Iniciativa única...Continuem a inovar. Cumprimentos
Muito obrigado! Grande abraço! 😊💪
Another classic episode 👏👏👏👏🍻
😀💪💪💪👌
Très intéressant et bien expliqué 👍
Merci beaucoup! le prochain épisode va être encore mieux 😆😉
Good video man...
Thank you! I really appreciate it 😊💪
Love Offroad Engineered! Another amazing explanation! Thanks man 👍
Thanks man! I really appreciate it! 😀💪💪💪
amazing
🙌🙌🙏🙏
What cps springs do you use on enduro bikes and road bikes
Mais um vídeo excelente como sempre.. Não há quem explique melhor😁 Podias fazer um a falar sobre as válvulas de escape, acho que também era interessante. Abraço 😁
Muito obrigado! 😀 vou fazer eventualmente, no te preocupes 😉 os motores não se ficaram por ali 😆
Excelente ideia! Fico à espera :)
😁😁
Ele responde em português. Que cara gente boa! Vídeos muito bons!!
If you were around in the 80's and 90's you would have seen some crazy stuff done on suspension. The forks we had sucked compared to today, especially when yamaha introduced its upside down fork. The shock setups were ok stock but required a lot of valving changes to work well.
nowadays they are fantastic off the box!
@@StepstoPodium yeah we made them work pretty well but still a far cry from modern suspension. Back in the day all the big money guys had ohlins.
@@jenpsakiscousin4589 What's Ohlins?
What's a upside down fork?
Answered my question right away! Thx! Jesus bless you all!
Glad I could help! 🙂
Excellent
Black friday was realy good 😂😂
😂😂👌👌
Bom video de entrada, agora queremos algo mais elaborado: ) não me digas que a tecnicaltouch te deu essas prendas...coisa mais linda!
vai-te preparando para o próximo episódio 😆
eu não digo nada 😀😂😂
Can you explain how to make a calculated chamber
TOP TOP TOP! Love the content, has always! 💪💪💪
😀😀😀💪💪💪
Então o próximo até vais colar a pipoca 😆😆😆😂
@@StepstoPodium venha ele!! 😁😎
master
That's an excelent video! Would it be okay if I used some of the drawings for a project about suspensions in my university? Thank you
As long as you don't publish any content with my footage, it's OK for you to use the drawings for uni :)
@@StepstoPodium thank you!
If you could, I would love to have access to what you are presenting! On a personal note and as a mechanical engineer 🙂
My suspension is not working .so how this problem will be solve ???
I didn't no Borat could teach me to atually bover putting oil in my forks, cheers dude , great vid, i will now not come off after each jumpings ..
Glad I could help somehow! Just hope they don't come off 😂
Thank you my friend, great vid, keep up the good work, ,, i now fully understand suspicion. @@StepstoPodium
You just made my day! Im really glad to know that 💪🙌😊
@@StepstoPodium glad to hear it dude, love motocross since i was a kid and alaways wanted to learn ,skill , technique and bike set up, i own a 97 Yamaha yz250 and want to finish building it again and blast my mates, cheers for all the vids , keep them rolling .
I will! I appreciate you sharing 💪💪
Então por exemplo para HardEnduro o melhor é uma suspensão com uma maior compressão para absorver melhor o impacto e uma maior extensão para recuperar rápido e ter boa tração ?
O que queres dizer com maior compressão?
Tanto para compressão e extensão, convém reduzires o amortecimento de modo a deixares que as suspensões possam absorver os obstáculos sem os sentires no guiador :)
Steps to Podium, falo da maior ou mais rápida compressão da suspensão quando apanha um obstáculo de maneira a ser um impacto o mais suave possível ( não sei se me consegui explicar 🙄).
Por exemplo na minha WP(2015) tenho os clicks bastante idênticos de compressão/extensão, bastantes clicks para mais suavidade em ambos (creio eu 😂)
sim, é isso ☺ abre os clicks todos se queres algo melhor para Hard enduro 😂
My question is that how body positioning can tackles off road undulations , please make a video about off road dynamics ,
Body ondulation?
@@StepstoPodium yes
What are body ondulations?
@@StepstoPodium i mean how to positioned our body in off road patch to maintain bike balance
What is an offroad patch?
sugestão para video , ensinar como fazer mistura dois tempos e suas funções .A mim faz alguma confusão entre marcas e suas recomendações
É uma muito boa sugestão!
Até posso fazer dois vídeos diferentes, um a explicar como se faz (how to) e outro a explicar para que serve (offroad engineered) 😉
@@StepstoPodium Bem me parecia que este video era português. Parabéns pelo canal
Muito obrigado!! Abraço! 😄💪
@@StepstoPodium You do that video yet?
hi, can i ask? in the AMA supercross championship the rear is very high and stiff, is it a particular calibration? or very preloaded spring?
It is only because the damping setting is really stiff and doesn't allow almost any compression since it generates a lot of damping from nearly stopped
@@StepstoPodium ok thank you for your time even if I didn't understand well😄😄
hi I would like to ask you, I have a kxf 450 2019, the forks harden in the middle of the stroke, is this normal? do you have any suggestion? 12click extension/16 compression..
Check the tightening torque on the triple clamps
@@StepstoPodium I checked it is affixed 12 nm
So lets say ktm sx250f 2020 has front forks that has air in the left fork and damping in right side of fork how does that work? Does it mean that they are air forks but left forks has 3 chamber air fork and right fork does the damping part?
Im working some things out to work with WP to get their products explained on the channel as we speak 😀💪
@@StepstoPodium Ok thank you!
@@StepstoPodium You work it out yet?
Yes we did 😎 coming out soon ✌
@@StepstoPodium Happy new year Steps to Podium and may you have much success
beta 300rr 2015 factory e boa mota ? tenho negócio em vista e não me queria arrepender ,
adorava dizer - te algo mas não sei mesmo 😅
@@StepstoPodium e sobre a Sherco se 250 2015 ? alguma coisa , não encontro nada sobre feedback da mota
pelo pouco que sei, os modelos a partir de 2018 compensam porque já tem a válvula electrónica, antes disso não tenho ideias de como são!
Dirt bike front suspension length? Please ask
it depends on the manufacturer!
Why the dirt bike not a road legal
which one?
🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏🤝
🇵🇹👌
😁💪💪
Cheeky buggers.......you used my video footage!!
😂😂 yes I did! hope you don't mind!
your video is absolutely badass! 👌💪💪
