suspension

Hi all. New here so be nice. Just bought a 2012 fe570 and I'm getting the springs upgraded to suit my weight this week. I've come off a Rmz450 and have no idea where to start with this machine. Ie no linkage. Just looking for some magic numbers to get me started.

Anyone recommend a suspension firm in the UK to convert my FE forks & rear shock to tarmac settings pls ? It's way too soft for me - I weigh 18 stone. Cheers.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what to set on the front forks on a 2011 570 to make the bike lighter and pop up over long whoops instead of hitting every whoop with the front end not poping up . I don't know whether to soften rebound or damping in forks.

Date = Type of bike = Year of bike = Weight of Rider = Type of riding you do = Location = How you like your suspension to feel = Fast or slow rider (be honest) = Bike and Rider Sag Settings: Front bike sag (without rider) = Front rider sag = Rear bike sag (without rider) = Rear rider sag =...

Hey all, I'm setting up my FE570 for SM and am trying to find out how much to lower the shock. Front is KTM SMR forks 280mm of travel with a length of 861mm from bottom of shaft to top of cap. Stock FE is 891mm same measurement. Rear is a spare FE570 shock I'm going to shorten to match the...

I am getting ready for our annual 4-day spring break ride and I would appreciate some input on my suspension setup before I go. I am really new at suspension tuning and I still don't follow all of the terminology, but I am learning. * 2010 FE450 * I am an old man (+50) and do recreational...

Just an idea, what do you think? Somewhere where we can put up our suspension details for comparison and reference. Bike, rider weight, rider speed, normal event or trails, spring weight, oil hight/weight, preload, clicker setttings, sag..................that kind of stuff. Someone with more...

This was the last upgrade I'm doing on it .sent my forks and shock to chads suspension setups got it back and the bike is awsome getting awsome pace through whoops and soaks up the rough stuff to so no slowing down. I'm 110kg with all gear on and he put .49s in the front with a revalve and a p15...

I Just recently had my suspension done by Dale EO Engineering and let me tell you WOW what a difference. He changed the springs to match my heftiness :( and also did a revalve. I ride a 2010 FE570, I am 235lbs and before I had this done the bike handled decently but there were two major...

Guys, need your advice here. I sold my 2008 FE 450 to someone who's a bit larger at 185 lbs and I am looking at a 2010 fe 390 with 106 hours on it. Would I be able to swap the suspension setups between the 2 bikes? My 2008 fe 450 had a Full factory connection setup with 20mm spacers fork/shock...

Hi All, What's the consensus on the best suspension tuner for the new Bergs? I just bought a 2010 FE450 and it needs some work. I ride desert (Lucerne, Ocotillo Wells, Johnson Valley, etc...) and am looking for the tuner that has it down. I want a plush go-fast bike. I live in Corona, CA if...

What's the word on NOST dampers? Are they any good? I'm thinking about getting a second rear damper so I can have one for SM and one for the woods. /Nick

hey guys. i got a few questions: 1. i lifted forks on my FX 450 a 3/4'' - do you guys think by doing that i changed bike geometry ? 2. with rised forks do i need to play with rear ?,i was planning soften spring to lower bike a little bit. 3. if ill loosen up spring, can i still adjust clicks on...

I have reached a drop dead point on my factory connection setup and am going to more desert races this year (thank god...). I am going to send in my spare KTM forks and shock to have Precision Concepts do the whoop eating magic. Anyone had PC tweak their 09+ bikes? Thoughts on the results...

Hi fellows: I am having a little problem with my suspension since I did my first fork mainteinance in my 2009 FE450. I want to first put you in context: 1.- I did a complet fork mainteinance in the husaberg dealer. They put a 7.5w oil and didn´t want to change it to 5w so I took the bike...

I have been working hard on getting my FX 450 ready for our HS season opener and have noticed the suspension was very good everywhere but in the bigger whoops the bike or chassis has a trait of pivoting or porpoising front to rear which affects being able to ride in an agressive mannor. I have...

Mounted my enduro wheels in my 2008 supermotard, should i leave suspension setting like they are for supermoto or should've i change something? Am not talking about revalving or drastic things like that, can't afford that right now. Christof

Bought this used 10' 390 a few months ago. Awesome bike although this is my first dirt bike and everyone says I should have ridden some 82' for a year or so to appreciate this thing.... I have to give thanks to Alan Stillwell who rebuild, revalved, and tuned my suspension. I come from an...

Just thought I'd try a thread about this era: the 2004-2008 MX and enduro machines. Just want to break down the handling, balance and suspension of these years and how we make them handle better! I'll start the ball rolling by saying that I've tried to work out what the factory thought was...

Factory connection set up my fe 390 for mx/worcs riding. This was necessary for me. Also got a great feed back on Ohlins ttx for Husaberg from a very well known shop in Sweden that they work very well. Lots of happy customers that used the ttx for the Bergs. Pinn it!
