For anyone skimming through the comments... here's my current set up for someone who's 6'2" and 180 lbs. Hope this helps someone get on the right track. Front Preload (0-10): 4 Rebound (0-14): 9 Rear Compression/Preload (0-20): 8 Rebound (0-18): 10

You are the same weight as me and I'm amazed you find the stock Talaria rear shock sufficient. I bottom mine out almost every time I use the bike, and as mine is an adapted road legal TL45 I've broken the number plate on the road and just now the plastic thing it fits to. :-(. I'm wondering if you might have any advice? How comes yours is OK for you? I've already would the spring up a fair bit to try and sort out the problem.

on the contrary, the party's just getting started.

Just as one of the people said here already, you got the whole rebound thing wrong. The + means more rebound dampening and - means less. When you turn the rebound knob clockwise it pushes the rebound rod closer to the primary rebound oil channel thus making the channel smaller and restricting oil flow and in effect slowing down the rebound. This is how essentially rebound works on any fork...

thank you for this!

you are the best guy on youtube for Talaria videos. Thanks for all your good info .

Hey man, check under the right side 19mm hex cap for the air valve. Take the front wheel off first it’s easier to unscrew the cap. Under the cap is a Schraeder valve which inflates the damper side air bladder, these forks are actually a spring in oil fork. Spring is on left side w/preload adjustment and then the damper is on the right side. Think of the spring weight and preload as your initial/mid travel tuning and the air bladder as your mid/bottom tuning. You can get more into tuning by changing the wt of the fork oil but the air bladder lets us fine tune the amount of progression and bottom out resistance. It’s nice because it acts kind of like a progressive compression adjustment. My fork shipped at 85 psi from the factory which I felt was a little low so I bumped it up to 125 and the front end feels much better now. Luna said they recommend 100-125 depending on rider weight and how aggressively they ride. 👍🏼

@@spunkysandoval just to be totally clear. My comment is in regards to the latest Talaria Sting R with the updated factory fork purchased from Luna Cycles-not the factory fork you can buy aftermarket or on older stings. This new version doesn’t have a compression knob underneath the right leg (riders perspective) of the fork. Instead there’s a black 19mm hex that when unscrewed reveals an air valve that is used to fill up an air bladder in the damper. This lets you tune bottom out “compression”.

Freer, I found out how to pump the Front shocks and rear shock. in the front remove the black hex bolts on the bottom of the forks, inside will be valve steam, use valve stem extenders to attach to pump, pump up to 150 PSI. the rear has it under the rear shock, idk if it nitrogen.

A little bit late, but I want to lower the bike approx 2 inches - would I be able to achieve that by adjusting the suspension? From your video it sounds like adjusting pre load would be the best place to start. If I dropped it all the way down to 0, would it potentially damage my shocks?

The newer Sting R's have pretty stiff suspension stock.. I'm only 150 pounds.... does anyone have any advice on how to soften it beyond these tips on here? Like, is there a decent aftermarket spring I could get for the rear?

Thanks for the vid, much needed info for me. Unfortunately, I think I snapped the air out bolt on the left side of front fork. I was letting the air out, then tightening it and barely put any force into it and now the bolt is spinning freely. Is it a big deal? I think that it is still airtight

I have a ⁉️ question ⁉️ How to adjust seemingly crooked forks. I have the 2023 mx4 factory forks. Brand new only days old I believe my forks are off center to the right the ride doesn't feel stable hands off the bars and bike merges right fast 😨. To the eye its hard to tell. I'm running a wake adjustable stem for the moment, I do have a direct stem mount coming in the mail later today and that's going straight on. Hopefully that will fix the issue but if it doesn't and one of the fork tubes is off center or whatever I'm unsure how to figure which one and in what way.. Last night I loosen both crowns and did my best to straighten it out adjusted the stem it looks good rides a tiny bit better but still it's off. Sucks I can't really ride over 40mph 😅

@freerfixedit

That’s strange! I was gonna say see if the fork tubes are twisted slightly in the clamps but if you loosened the crowns and adjusted, they should be straight. Hopefully the direct mount stem helps! I just put mine on yesterday and I like it a lot
