Hi,
I have a KTM 350 with AER 48mm Air forks. I didnt like the fork so I got it revalved. It got a little bit better but I wasnt happy with them so I got them revalved again but Im still not happy with them.
I am thinking about getting the conevalve or öhlins fork insteed. Anyone that have tried both and can give me some tips?
I was on the yzf450 last year and got that revalved and some parts was changed and I was very happy with that suspension. Then I switched to KTM and I love everything about the bike except the fork. So I really need to get the fork issue fixed. If I dont I think I will be back on the yami next year.

Edit: But try to find a used set of CV forks if you really dislike the AER48 forks. I think i saw a set of WP CV forks on Blocket a few days ago.
Like these guys said, if your happy with KYB, it's not a bad idea to convert a pair of WP forks to KYB, then you will get the same feel you are used to.
Rode the 1st moto on my FC modified 4CS. They are also good...... the CV forks are friggen awesome. Felt just like my Showa Akit stuff.
Your FC 4 cs forks have all the latest mods done to them ?
First off, where did you get AER 48 forks from for your 350? Are you Euro based? Second, what didn't you like about the forks when they we're setup with the stock settings? What did you try to setup the forks before sending them out for a re-valve?
You would be the first person I've heard say doesn't like the new AER fork from a performance perspective. I have time on the AER 48's and found them to be very supple and all around very capable forks. I'm not suggesting they are as good as the CV setup, just that they are darn good out of the box.
I'm very interested to hearing your experiences to help with more feedback.

Everything from this thread , and the one I started last week , makes it sound like a guy could get the rear shock working really well through factory connection , but the Cone Valves seem to be the way to go on the forks. At about $3500.00 ....for that price , does a guy get an entire set of brand new forks , or is it a bunch of parts to convert your existing forks?
Gawd dang it....I just want to ride one with that setup and see what it's like. Kinda have a woody for this right now.
Also , to the OP original question...I thought the AER 48's were supposed to be quite a bit better than the 4CS forks?
The AER48 are supposed to be much better than 4CS from the media side, but now some mixed reviews from the "average consumer" are coming to light. I really want to try a set to give an opinion on them.
OR....would it be more wise to just get a 17' and forget about the cv and trax stuff.. And FC do their mods? Wonder if a 17' is all that much better compared to a 14'-16' model , not counting the suspension?
My thinking is telling me that if i had a couple year old bike with the Cv and trax may be a better ride?
Post a reply to: My WP AER 48 forks sucks. Should I go with conevalve or Öhlins?
