I did my own suspension (sans re-valving), because the people who work in the industry did the job wrong. There is more information in the owners manual. I am going to be nice, and stop right there.

This is the best explained and demonstrated suspension set guide I have seen to date. Thanks.

Easily one of my favorite channels! So much great information, I am beyond grateful for the hard work you put into these videos. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the props! There’s definitely a lot of work that goes into these videos, especially this suspension one, so thanks for recognizing that. Many more to come!

Good job on the explanation Doc! Keep rockin! Comment comin all the way from Wells Branch!

Doc is the man! He truly goes above and beyond for the Moto community here in central TX. Love my 812 setup. Great video Mx Factory👍🏽

Can I buy and ride a bike with out being in your little "community"? That crap is for commune----------ism. I ride dirt bikes to get away from you people. :)

Im appreciate your Vidoes so much! Ive done alot of research in the past years with everythin which has to do with dirtbikes and im still getting some realy good new information and tipps which are so helpful and important! Especially right now with the oil wear comparisons!! I couldnt get any infos about the exact oil wear and how and how much it wears in a certaim amount of time, so i can set my oil change priorities. Thanks so much Vital and 812 Suspension! Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany

I needed this video so bad xD my kx125 feels really harsh, and now im pretty sure i know why

Awesome guys awesome, you guys give a lot of tips guys. Last four or five years I'm trying to get suspensions setup but I couldn't much. After this video I got superb confidence to do the setup. Continue guys. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you guys. This is good information to have. I liked the cutaway bits too. Helps to simplify things.

This was actually killer, raised my stanchion 7mm reset all my tuning valves to the base mentioned, thing will hook up on the trail better now I hope and actually turn in. Sweet vid.

another great vlog, thanks guys!

That's a good looking Walker Seat! Gus is the man, one incredible human. But you already knew that 💪

i love to watch your videos! always fun and educative!

Thank you guys great tips to learn and apply ,great job!!!

Funny - I've subscribed to your channel for over a year and have been a big fan. This might be the best video I've seen from MXF. Granted, I've been researching servicing my 4CS forks. Great vid.

Got my suspension done by 812, it's wasn't cheap but this guy knows what he's doing, it feels like a different bike.

Amazing guys appreciate it. You’re the best. Well, done video. Amazing. Keep up the good work.

Really great guide. Dudes a mad scientist.

Awesome tips!.. I tweaked my front end the other day when I flipped my bike. The guys told me to whack the wheel against a tree and that got me going but was not perfect. I got home and removed everything(forks/wheel etc..). Even after reinstalling it feels funny. I will look at the pinch bolts today and try that brake procedure. Gotta love tech tips AND SAFETY GOGGLES!!! LOL

Just loosen the axle clamp bolts, the upper and lower fork clamps ...this will relieve any load on the forks caused by a crash, hard landings and / or improper assembly in the first place. Move handlebars from side to side and wiggle tire side to side just a bit. Tighten axle nut, then lower fork clamps , axle clamps, and then upper, do this one more time and the forks and axle will find their true positioning unloaded and off you go. Torque everything accordingly. Too tight and it can cause binding.

I love Tylar. He's just out here being himself.

Awesome video !!! Very informative Thank you !!

More please!!! Just awesome! Thank you!

I can't thank you guys enough! I'd rather learn right the first time. Now, I'm building my way to be a better rider. Thanks again.

Very informative. Well done!

great video guys. I got some new tips from thid for my own bike!!!

Loved 🥰 it. Rarely watch a whole video, but I sat through this, great video by both of you. Don’t normally like being lectured to but I didn’t mind this time

Best info I’ve seen since Jay Clark . I’ll have to circle back to this a few times

Such a great video! Thank you!

Great video !! Thank you

That was a cool video liked it a lot, keep them coming

Very complete. Thank you!

Great info! Thanks so much.

Very useful. excellent subject. Great. Thanks.

Another classic vid guys......you should make a vid on jetting 2 stroke bikes

Thanks for this video!!!!

I really liked the fluid comparison of hours of use. I’ve always been a little skeptical of maintenance schedules cause I often get away with letting them go but then wonder why all of a sudden I have a leak. Very good hourly comparison 👍🏻

This was SUPREMELY informative!! I’m legit surprised!

awesoem video! thank you

Had the 3lack navy/gold before it dropped 😲😍 the best looking kit out hands down

Thanks guys great video 👍

Seriously thanks for this video, I have always thought that my riding was just getting sloppy towards the end of my riding season. Now I have a feeling that my suspension may just be needing new oil.

Great starting point for 2005 plus bikes,on my crf 450 2010 work great but on yz450f steel frame all same just on rear shock works good on 5 clicks out down rebound

Спасибо парни! Полезная информация!!

Great information mate. Question: Why aren't you using a fork brace between the wheel and lower clamp when strapping down the bike during transport.

dam great video!!

Every dirt biker should watch this video

best instructional

Great tips

Nice vid. Right to the point and very little BS.

The best!

great vid very informative and covering items my shop manual does not. my only criticism is the screw driver used to alter clicker position was a dodgy fit, it needed to have a thicker blade to fit the slots better other wise damage can occur to the screw head. I know there is not a lot of pressure applied and that most would not care about the damage. IMO it is best to have the tool that fits best for any job.. thanks for the vid it was good to watch.

I was a fanatic about my suspension and brakes......any motor has more than enough power......if you can learn how to really dial in suspension for your tracks it makes pretty big difference....I wrote down all settings I used for each specific track and condition ( if rough, avg or smooth that day)

Great Video!!!! Regarding the clicks for the suspesnion is this for every motocross bike or for only the ones with these type of forks? thanks

Do a video on how to charge whoops plz

Negotiations of tight turns, what a rush ;-) Outstanding VDO Engineering is the other part of the fun

not sure if mentioned in other comments but another hugely important tip is to slide the rear shock bump stopper up and clean and dry the crud in there . a quick spray of wd40 too . Its amazing how quickly the shock shaft rusts when the rubber bump stop is soaked in water .

@EarthSurferUSA

Жыл бұрын

That plated shaft should not rust unless the hard plating was done in china. It is not the plating that is rusting, but the steel underneath , and coming thought a hole or crack in the plating.

mint vid cheers

Excellente video

Absolutely a great video, a must watch. Thank you guys!!

Great video im assuming 10 comp 18 rebound is a good baseline setting?

very good boys

That Husky is dope

Kudos

I’ve notified oil on my forks and some accumulating at the bottom. Is this an indication of leaking seals? Or what should I do

In what scenario would someone use aftermarket high flow valves in forks? I assumed for light riders but couldn’t you adjust rebound clickers on fork or not quite the same?

Excellent info man. Thx

Round Rock Texas? I live a couple miles away from there lol

for 8:30 over torque of triple clamps... if you over torque will it ruin the fork for life or can you simply loosen and set correct torque and have the forks move freely again?

Where do I find suggested settings to start with for my weight? Does it change for trails vs track?

What type of torque wrench for the axle pinch bolts? thanks for the vid!

Makes me think a little more when strapping down the front end of my bike blown fork seals!? Wow

This dude looks and sounds like a young Woody Harrelson. That said, this was a helpful video.

Very help-full I have a 2015 Husky FE 501, riding in the PNW and racing in NMA hare scrambles/off road and I find my forks pushing me off the trail, I’ve messed with the top clickers only, I’m going to raise the fork a bit to see if the bike turns tighter.

It will definitely help. Let us know how it goes!

You mentioned woods riding and steering. You need to also address deep loose sand like the Dunes along Lake Michigan. For that the rear tire must be screwed through the rim and the pressure lowered to 2 psi on a very very stiff six ply 4.50 knobby. I always run about 4 to 6 psi in the woods as you never know what you will encounter as far as mud and sand.
