Hi guys struggling to find any pressures for the forks as the manual only goes up to 95 kg. I'm about 16.5 stone without gear and I'm struggling to find any charts for the, ahem, heavier rider Grinning

That's great thanks digger I'll use that as a start point tomorrow. May sound like a bone question but you bleed both legs of air as per a regular fork? I usually bleed my forks also when loading and strapping down to help the seals so just double checking Wink

Yes definitely. For what it's worth I only ran my AER's for the final 3 races of our season here in New England and I started at 148psi in them which is where they come stock and that I mentioned in my earlier post. I actually kept going down until the felt very plush and would settle in the turns for me and wouldn't bottom and I settled on 133 psi which is around 9.4 bar and I loved them. I weight 235 with gear on and race in the vet expert classes. Are they cone valves, negative but that being said they're by far the best air fork that I've ever used.

No just standard at the minute but I've come off revalved 4cs forks and Ohlins shock on my last bike so keen to see the difference.
Thanks digger

No problem. I just wanted to let you know that me and everyone that I race with here in New England are running our AER's way softer than they're spec'd from KTM. The chart goes something like this

125/150SX 8.6 bar
250SX 10.2 bar
250SX-F 10.6 bar
350SX-F 10.6 bar
450SX-F 10.8 bar

I'm 85kg and i have usually 9.7-10 bar with my 450.

Depending on the track. 10.8(stock is way to much in my opinion.
