danielsx150 Added a reply to 2020 KTM air fork
6/11/2024 6:26pm That’s good information to have. It’s just so weird that I have tied down and driven this bike all over the country for 2.5 years now and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this. The air burping past the piston makes sense mechanically, but I can’t help but wonder why now? Both the forks and shock were recently...

This is pretty common on the WP air forks if you leave it tied down. Air can burp past the piston and hold the fork down to mid-stroke. You can place your feet on the wheel and pull up hard on the front fender near the lower clamp to raise the fork to it's topped-out position. When you do that, the air that is trapped under the piston will return to the upper air chamber through the bypass and the bike should be back to normal ride height. If you have a ton of hours on your suspension, it's probably...

6/11/2024 7:28am It was tied down for 4 days and when I went to take the bike out, the tie downs were loose and the bike stayed collapsed.

6/9/2024 5:41pm Hey, I have a weird one I’ve never seen before so let’s see what the internet has to offer… 2020 KTM sx150 with 53 hours. Rode on Wednesday and left the bike in the van until Sunday. Took it out to wash it and noticed my straps were loose, thought they came undone but then noticed the bike stayed down...

12/23/2023 4:19pm I did actually. It turned out to be the cam chain tensioner failed. At low rpm the chain would float a little and change the timing just enough to let it slowly die out. Replaced cam chain and tensioner and it’s back in action

9/15/2023 1:31pm Those are definitely solid points. I’m pretty good with carbs so I’m not scared of tuning but I am really into the idea of FI and I think it’s easy to make the power pretty even with the klx. The thing I hated most about the klx after sitting on it is that it feels like slow big bike and...

9/15/2023 1:23pm Thanks for the update. That was my opinion as well after sitting on them. It kind of puts me more into the Honda actually. I had crf150f a bunch of years ago and what I hated the most about it was how it felt like a slow big bike and not a pit bike. My favorite mini was my drz125...

9/13/2023 6:55pm I need opinions and experiences to make the call. I really am having trouble committing and pulling the trigger one way or the other. I want to buy a new pit bike and I’m torn between the klx140L and crf125bw. I have sort of eliminated the ttr and Drz 125’s unless a dealer is really willing to deal because if...

8/25/2023 11:05pm Since it started doing this, I haven’t kept it running longer than a minute or so but it doesn’t seem to get better the more times I try it. After it dies, it starts right back up. Another thing I forgot to mention is that the idle knob doesn’t seem to affect the idle speed. I turned it all the...

8/25/2023 2:21pm Hey guys, I have a 2021 Kawi 450 with about 100 hours and I have a new consistent issue I’m trying to sort out. On cold start, the engine fires right up and after idling about 15-30 seconds, basically when the cold start high idle would come back down to regular idle, it just slowly dies out. It refires immediately...
