I posted this in the other thread. My brand new 22 and 24 had play in the rear suspension, about a 1/4" at the rear wheel. Once the play becomes more, I replace shock bearings, usually around 25 hours.

3/20/2024 8:10am This is what I was hoping to hear! Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I will replace the lower shock bearing around 25hrs unless the play becomes worse.

3/20/2024 8:08am This is great info to know. I was considering replacing the lower shock bearing, but knowing this, I may hold off until it worsens. Again, it seems that a slight bit of up and down is normal. Thanks again!

3/18/2024 6:33am I appreciate your thoughts, and knowing that you've replaced the top shock bearing only to have the play come back is great info, so thank you! Again, it may have been that way, but I just never noticed. It took by surprise, as I put everything together only to notice the slight bit of up-and-down movement.

3/18/2024 6:34am Thanks willbilly, "Thanks for your feedback. The bike has 15 hrs (14.8) on it, and I just never really noticed it before repacking the bearings. Again, perhaps it was always there, I just didn't notice it.

3/17/2024 1:26pm For those that have a 2020-2023 KX 450, I am curious if your bike also does this. Also curious if other models might does this as well.

3/16/2024 2:54pm Need some guidance. I have a '22 KX 450 with 14 hrs and I decided to tear it down and repacked the linkage bearings. I noticed when I pick up the rear wheel there is a slight bit of play. Hard to tell exactly, but seems to be coming from the top of the shock. Nothing side-to-side, just up and...

FC450 Started a new thread EVS Hex Pro Knee Pads
3/30/2022 12:02pm So I just purchased the EVS Hex Pro Knee pads and I am bit skeptical. The new technology with the Hex impact being CE EN level 1 protection blows me away. It is so soft and flexible. Has anyone used or tried these knee pads? My fear is if I go down, will it protect me. Thanks in advance! Mike

12/30/2021 10:39pm Help! I've replaced my clutch and installed a new inner hub into the basket but I'm the owners manual does not indicate the proper torque spect for this.

12/29/2021 10:47am To preface, I had one on my '18 FC 450 and loved it! So I purchased one for my '22 Honda and it just felt completely different; almost like a small flywheel weight was added to the clutch. I tried different springs/wedges, and played with idle adjustment and just could not get it to my liking. Again, its a great...

12/29/2021 9:05am Hey Meister, Sorry for the delay. I tried the Rekluse RadiusCX and did not like it, so I put OEM clutch back in. Now my bike is randomly stalling for NO reason all at (it was also stalling with Rekluse). It will start fine, then randomly stall on the stand then is difficult to start again. I just replaced the...

FC450 Started a new thread 4.8 Rear Spring for 155lbs rider too much???
4/28/2021 12:42pm Ok, so I need come guidance... I have a 2017 FC 450, and I had had my shock serviced and the bladder and spring were replaced, and they also changed the valving. My question is, I weigh 150-155lbs (without gear) and that seems a bit much for what I've read. Could they have changed the valving or run different oil...

6/7/2020 7:28am Thanks KB228 & CarlinoJoeVideo, The question becomes, how difficult would this be to replace. I have the service manual, and have replaced top-ends and such on 2s trokes, but have not really dove into the 4strokes yet, other than clutches etc.

3/10/2019 6:35pm I am replacing my Clutch Slave with an OEM unit, and there appears to be a C-clip or collar around the top plunger/diaphragm. Should I remove this or leave this in? I'm not sure if it was there for shipping etc? Thanks in advance! Mike
