LoopMyLarry Started a new thread Showa SFF TAC front end traction
4/5/2016 12:27am Hey guys. I have a 2015 KX450 and i'm struggling with front end traction on the bike. In stock form, the first inch or so of travel was very stiff and harsh and i felt like i had to tip toe around corners, and overall had little confidence in laying the bike over in corners. The rest of the action...

4/4/2016 1:51pm Russ, I'm not sure that is the case. The fork actually felt more sunk into the travel with the 188/0/150 setting than the 180/10/190 setting. The 188/0/150 setting just overall felt softer, and that is confirmed by the graph above.

4/4/2016 10:27am A little update.... So I tried running the following setting with 0psi in the outer chamber. To get a similar spring feel out of the fork, i had to run much less balance chamber pressure: Here is how the force graphs look for each profile in the SFF Air app: (PINK) Previous settings - 180 inner / 10 outer /...

3/29/2016 10:03am Russ, Interesting note about the outer chamber pressure. I'll have to play with that a bit. I have heard of guys running 0 psi in the outer with good results, however i felt like the fork lost bottoming resistance when i did that. I have not tried to run 0 psi in the outer after getting it revalved so i'll...

3/28/2016 4:33pm I totally understand the various pressure chambers. 180 / 10 / 190 was recommended for my weight, skill level, and paired with the valving. If i go any higher in the balance without upping the inner, i feel like the fork will start to compress on its own, and thus ride lower. Do i have my understanding correct? If there...

3/28/2016 3:02pm I'm 190-195lbs naked, and I run 175 inner/10 outer/185 balance on tracks with small jumps, and 180/10/190 on tracks with bigger hits.
