All

I agree after all these years the amount of people you see that moan about the air forks you’d of thought they would of went back to spring a long time ago

All they had to do was put Sexton KYB edition forks in the KTM hard parts catalog.

That’s actually pretty good advice.

Increasing means to slow down your shock.

Need to use proper terminology…. “rebound” is either faster or slower…”compression” is stiffer of softer….you want to “slow” the rebound down some, to help keep the shock from “Pogo stick” effect in the rollers/whoops. Now if you get on a a hardpack track with sharp square edge pot holes, you would “speed up” rebound to combact the quick hits from the square edge, also keeping wheel on the ground for traction…these are not extreme changes, as you should have your suspension setup for intermediate terrain or the most average track conditions that you ride, these would be considered your “base”...

If its a long,fast, whooped out & rough… I slide forks down to extend wheelbase, think stability….you give up tight turning & front end bite, but a full on sand track you are generally steering with the rear end & throttle. 1-2 clicks in/ stiffer compression, use the Oring you have on your fork tube to check for bottoming and adjust compression accordingly… rear shock, error on more sag vs less, and slow down rebound a few clicks… I used to have a sand track that was so rough, after 20-25 minute motos the shock body would get hotter than...

Sand is tricky. - that’s what I mostly ride. I find that if the front feels skatey the front is too stiff or you have too much shock sag. I usually start by backing off the compression on the fork (softer) by just a click or two at a time until you feel more front end bite. Too soft and it will knife. That sweet spot can be tricky to find so make small changes - if the front lacks traction cornering I’d try sliding a bit more forward on the bike in the corners before doing much if anything...

That’s a hard base with loose sand on top. A deep sand track is much different. Add more sag until you loose front end grip. Then back it off.

This is what Bones (Pro Circuits suspension guru) had to say about setup in sand from an old MXA article
