Brought a 2016 last Oct… Any chance of a video how to set up the air forks please… I fail to understand how you can only set the air pressure one side and adjust the clickers on the other.. how does the right side know what the clickers setting is and how does the left know what psi is set at..

Congrats, I’ll give you a quick rundown: -You basically want to find your spring rate first -Start by setting your inner chamber and balance chamber -don’t worry about the outer chamber for now -You’re going to want a little more pressure in your balance chamber down below, then you do in your inner chamber up above -these two chambers work against each other. The reason you want a little bit more in your balance chamber is because it will pull the forks downward a little bit, making the bike handle a little bit better - rather than having your outer chamber pushing the forks out to full extension all the time. That makes the bike, rigid, and handle poorly. -you want the front forks to be compliant and be able to dive into turns. For example, with the stock rear spring installed in the bike, my fork settings were 178 psi in the inner chamber, and 190 psi in the balance chamber. -Those pressures may not work for you, but you can see the conjunction the two numbers now, where the balance chamber has a higher pressure, thus allowing the fork to compress a little bit. -The inner chamber extends the fork, when filled with air, the balance chamber drags the fork back in when filled with air. They work directly against each other. You can try my pressures to start, and see if you can get the fork to use all of its travel in your regular riding conditions. you want to use your forks travel, super important. If you notice that your forks do not fully compress all the way, after you’ve warmed up and hit some obstacles, pretty hard, then back down on those pressures. Do it evenly if you are using my pressures as a baseline. Example: if the forks are not compressing all the way, and you need to reduce the pressures, make sure they are 12 psi apart, just like the baseline pressures are (178/190). So if you drop 178 down to 176, then drop the 190 down to 188. Hope that makes sense. If you’re bottoming out really badly, increase the pressure is equally. Just the opposite. Here’s where we can add a little more fine-tuning: I have not mentioned the outer chamber, yet, start with it at zero psi If you find that you like the way, your inner chamber and balance chamber are working, and they feel really good everywhere except they tend to bottom out sort of hard, you can add pressure into the outer chamber, like five psi to start, and this will help the fork not bottom out at the very very end of its travel. Use it to fine tune. It is like adding oil and forks that have a coil springs. I wasn’t able to do this online because the forks were blown, so they would naturally be at zero all day. The outer chamber does let air out if you have blown fork seals. After all of this, you can start playing with your clickers. You will eventually find something that works between everything, including the clickers. Start with the air pressure, take your time, the set ups require patience. Once you find a spring rate, a.k.a. air pressure that you like, move onto your clickers, and start adjusting those one or two clicks at a time. Keep in mind that before you do anything at all with your front forks, you first need to set your shocks sag in the rear. Easy to do. If you don’t know how, there are many amazing videos. If you are too light or too heavy for your rear spring, fix that first, then set the SAG, then move onto your forks. Once you get all of that dialed in, you will have a very well handling machine. But never at its full potential if you do not address both ends. Most importantly, have fun!

Ones compression the other is for rebound... And the forks are the least of the worries on that bike, it's the BRFC shock that is the major issue... send it off to Race Tech or somewhere that knows what they're doing.

Ran several of these bikes from 2008 to 2016, personally I believe the 2011-2012 version was the best. Great frame with easy to tune 47mm forks. Add a oversized front brake, revalve the suspension, your choice of exhaust system and you are good to go.

@mxrevival

Жыл бұрын

You are spot on! I searched and searched for a few months when I realized I wanted to do this, for a 2012 model specifically. Really hard to find them not clapped out at their age now. Also realized it was the best idea to go with the newest and last generation of that frame in that body style. Still able to get complete exhaust systems in other parts quite readily 😍

Great timing with KROC win Charles. Nothing worse than 1 or 2 year model runs from other Manufacturers...thats where Suzuki's long model/parts interchange does it for me. Been a Suzuki owner since 1982, be it PE175's,RGV250,RM100/125s and currently a K2GSXR100, 2x PE175s and a 78 RM125. Part of the fun in building bikes is "interchangeability of parts"......thats what Suzuki's have always been. Great episode Charles.

The '11-'18 RMZ450s were the best. Chassis wasn't as stiff, and the suspension was better, especially for most people before the BFRC. I had a few of these, amazing bikes.

I had two 15 450s and I loved them.

Decal works does make great stuff...they did my plates, #19 on a set of blue and yellow T-5 series graphics for a '23 RMZ250! Tried the silver shimmer and it looks awesome, highly recommend that and they always throw in a few extra name and number stickers. Great business. Will be back

You’re welcome! I’m not sure about the 250, but I would not be surprised if it was the same situation. Most likely they will also slide into the stock clamps. But you’ll find out with a simple measurement. They don’t typically spend any money they don’t have to on alternative part numbers. You can also do a spring conversion on your original stuff, and they will be quite good as well if you don’t like the air forks that is.

I did the 18+ spring fork swap on my 2016. Feels really good, my air forks always felt like they got “stuck” in between the stroke. Kinda hard to explain but the spring forks feel nice. Where can one snag that front number plate as well? It’s cherry!

There are some really good deals on the new forks out there. You could even go to the 47 mm set up and grab the corresponding triple clamps from 2012 or so.
