I just purchased a brand new 17 fc450 and I couldn't be any happier with my decision to go husky. The bike is unreal, I feel so good on it right off the bat by far the best bike I've ridden to date. Current bikes I've had or ridden 2007 yz250 2 stroke, 15 yz450f,12 and 16 crf450r, 14 yz250f, 12 crf250r, 13 rmz450. This bike handles really good for stock and it's really light for a 450. I was a little skeptical on the air fork but it's not that bad. I'm thinking of having kreft moto revalve my suspension just to dial it in for my weight and speed. Has anyone had experience with kreft moto for suspension work?
Adam knows his stuff on the KTM & Husky's. I've heard he can get the AER forks working.
The Shop
I'm in the market for an '18 model soon.
The AER forks are very capable right out of the box, spend some time dialing in your PSI and clickers and you might end up being very pleased. And if not, then send the to Kreft...he's without a doubt reputable and very knowledgable
Contacted our local dealer for a 18 tc 65 for my kid and was like $5500 OTD, couldn't pull the trigger...
Pit Row
The AER fork "air" is so easy to adjust and 1 "click" on Comp or Reb is like 2 or 3 clicks on other brands. I've added a little more Comp (2-4 depending on the track) and 2-3 more Rebound due to the additional air I run. The rear needs to be set to the correct sag and then your go to work on the forks. I run a little bit more air in the fork than stock. I'm usually 10.8 bar or more. I find keeping the forks higher in the stroke works best, for me.
Also, the aggressive map gives you a lot more low/mid snap. If that doesn't cut it add a tooth as MXA would recommend....
