My question is, have you ever riden Kit suspension that's set up for your weight and speed? This is where the comparison comes in that the 4cs need work.
I have also noticed the poor performance on high speed hits. The last thing I want at high speeds is no confidence in my forks. Both tracks I lost confidence in those areas so I didn't hit the jumps as fast, in turn making me slower. Would this change the outcome of a race? Probably not, but doesn't mean I don't want the suspension to work. The types of jumps I am talking about are very similar to the single high speed jump that is at Vegas.
The Shop
It kind of seems like we are off topic. The thread was specifically created for well known/good testimonials on what tuners to do work on the 4cs fork.
Spoke with Sleeter yesterday while at Pala, he said he rode on the 4cs with valving changes and said it will get you by even at a Pro level, he shreds and is pro level so obviously it can be made to work....
Like stated, though. We only know as good as what we have ridden and experienced. Was my SSS stuff from Rg3 good, yes. Is it the best out there? Not even close. The SSS stuff IMO is the best stock off the shelf option. But I have ridden a bike with the TTX Ohlins stuff and it was far superior IMO, at the end of a moto when I am tired and am making a little more mistakes it was more forgiving and overall, just better for my riding. It is around $1500 just to convert my forks to the SSS stuff, to me, not worth it. I can either get the 4cs working close to the same as my Yamaha with the Rg3 re-valve for a little more cost than what I paid for that setup, around $450 plus shipping for the fork work. (Assuming the testimonials and my research is correct). If I am dropping $1500 on forks alone I would be buying some TTX cartridge inserts or Dal Saggo Carts....
Let me ride your Cone valve forks and Traxx shock and I am sure, if set up for my LACK of speed, ability and weight I am sure I also would think that is the best thing ever, do I need it? No. But is it nice to have in certain situations, absolutely yes.
To me, on a bike suspension is an absolute must before contemplating any other mods. I ride a 125 so obviously I am in it for fun, not going to be the fast guy out there and I am not looking for tons of power..
Milestone (hard pack). About 2 hours on them there it seemed to handle the chop and braking bumps decent. None of the tracks ove ridden have gotten rough enough to give a full review. I also haven't really ridden this bike very aggressive yet. Overall I haven't bottomed out yet since the work was done (yay) whereas before id bottom easily. The mid stroke / hydro lock is still there. I noticed it when I overjumped a 4th gear table at milestone. Flat landed in the right body position but it still jarred my wrists a little. Didn't handle it as well as my Sss forks setup by rg3 for me (2 re valves before I felt satisfied) but it's rideable and i feel I will be able to push myself on this bike now. The deflection off of chop is a lot better I just need to find confidence in this bike lol.
I really need to play with sag, shock and forks settings a little more but I only have 8 hours on this bike so I'm still getting comfortable on it. I'll update more once I ride a rough track and get about 25-30 hours on them I will report back.
So far id say they went from a 4/10 to a 7.5/10 and my rg3 yamaha forks were a 8.5/10 after the second re valve and playing with settings for about 15 hours.
I think Corey at ProTune did a phenomenal job on a poorly engineered fork that lacks oil flow. I would recommend him not only for his work but for his customer service as well.
Will report back soon!
Thanks for the ride facts.
Do this... below. It will work.
Racetech gold valves with the open chamber conversion . Makes the forks great. They work amazing. I racertainly the local a class and they perform to every need I have .
It's good enough so far for me. I'm not very good so I don't push the bike nearly as hard as an A rider such as yourself would.
They're good at what they do.
I just picked these up. Pretty stoked on them. We shall see if they stack up to Showa kit suspension.
Pit Row
This bike isn't predictable like my yz. Whatever body position I was In in knew what the yz would do. Especially jumping this bike feels front end heavy or something. Especially scrubbing. Its just not as predictable. Granted I have 10 hours on the Husky and over 70 hours on the yami.
I hope I love this bike and it's reliable. It has a great powerband and is much easier to work on. Time shall tell!! That suspension sounds like the bees knees. A dude local was selling a traxx shock and cone valve forks I just couldn't afford it and cant justify that investment unless I stay on Husky ktm.
I am also very picky about what my bike does off of jumps. Jumps id hit on mh yamaha no problem I'm scared to think of doing on the Husky.
Sag is set to 100 right now. Stock shock settings. Going to try to slow the rebound a few clicks and see what it does.
