I don't know what I have here so if anyone has any thoughts, chime in. 4860 forks manufactured in 2000. They are on the FC track bike I purchased. The suspension seems to be about 25mm lower than my 2001fe. The suspension is much stiffer and the rear spring is an 84-250 spring. These could be...

Hi All, Sorry if repost. Ive been riding bikes for most of my life & have done pretty well & never bothered really paying much attention to suspension setups. I now have a pretty well new 2013 FE450 with the WP 4c Suspension & was wondering how I go about learning to set this thing up...

Hello all again! I think I get around an engine quite decently but suspension....damn, I don't understand how this thingies work....:unsure: So here's my problem, after servicing the forks I'm now trying to set it up according to my riding stile and wishes so after hours of tinkering this...

I have an 11 FS570 SM I purchased new in spring 2012 for street riding only. The suspension is totally rigid on this thing. I am supposedly the target weight of 185 pounds. I have played with the clickers and sag to no avail. I am currently full out on compression and rebound with 100mm of...

Hi all, just dropped the bike off at kais suspension specialist in Atherton. Lowing the bike 50mm and making some alterations to jets, oil, springs, etc Will report back full details and conclusion when i get it back and ride it. Cheers Brian

Springs (shock and fork) in particular, are they interchangeable between an 09 FE and a '13+ TE?

Hello - I have a relatively new to me '06 FE550. The suspension was done by RPS Suspension in NorCal who so far as I can tell is out of business. My understanding is it was setup for desert and 230 lb rider (which I am). I rode it a few times on single-track, the desert, and fireroads. The...

Just purchased new fe450 2012 model and love the bike especially coming from a Husqy 511 Handles well but I am 185cmc tall and weigh 120 kegs Would like to set bike up rear suspension and front end up to suit Intermediate rider mainly ride open trails and some single track Any body who has...

Hello guys. My first post here, because I couldn't find a specific answer for my problem... I'm the proud owner of a 2012 TE250 for about 3 months now, and I'm trying to learn some skills for extreme enduro, hard technical trails, rocky surfaces, hillclimbs, etc... Since I'm about 82kg ready...

Hi all, preparing my bike for a big ride this weekend and want to try iron out some of the niggles with the suspension/handling. The issues are as follows : Front end gets pushed through corners and washes out- from what I've read this is a tyre related issue, not enough grip up front and...

So no shock or forks on the 570 and I needed to do an oil change. So I strung her up lol

Is there a bushing or a kit available to lower the rear suspension on a 2010 FE-450 ? Thought I saw a post about this somewhere. If I could lower my bike approx 1'' or so It would be great...... :cheers:

Hi all, new berg rider coming from a Honda blackbird and I must say its much more fun getting dirty than road riding. Anyway I have noticed that when I compress the front suspension when stationary I get a pronounced clonk from the fork area. I don't think It's the head bearing as i cant feel...

I purchased a new 570, 2011 model with cc forks a year and a bit ago since a friend was selling his 2010 , seemed a pitty to see it go so i have it too now since then my 2011 rear shock started leaking oil, is this odd , the shaft seems good Question is... is the 2011 shock spec the same ...

I am 6-2, over age 50 and weigh 230lbs wearing my riding gear. Add a tank bag and back back with water hydration and the weight goes higher. I don't really want to keep adding more and more money into a new bike that I already spent alot of money on. With that said, when I purcahsed the bike...

I have both a 97 and 99 FE501 and I'm wondering why the engineers did away with the rear suspension linkage on the newer model. In comparing the two side by side the newer (linkless) version is obviously lighter, less prone to wear and cheaper to manufacture. But...is it better? Was the change...

Hi guys, I have searched, but haven't found a good explanation of the differences between the suspension components on the FS vs. MX (or FE) bikes. My reason is, I have a 2002 FC550 (MX) and my front forks are well worn.. the plastic guides are actually broken inside. I just picked up a set...

Hi guys I've got a 2012 fe570. I just upgraded springs to suit my weight, but left the valving etc stock for the moment. I know this machine is an enduro weapon, and I do use it for this also, but it sure is a comfortable Mx bike for training Motos, and to be honest, I'm seriously thinking...
