Hi, just got a 2016.5 Ktm Factory Edition and was wondering if anyone knows where to find a chart that explains what PSI to set the forks at depending on weight? Was looking around online and couldn't find anything.

Call a suspension company,. Give them your weight, skill level, type of riding. They can give you base settings. Assuming your rear spring rate is correct for you.

I have yet to see a chart, but here is some data... Standard rider weight is 165-187lbs when WP/KTM/Husky refer to a standard setting. So keep that in mind when adjusting.

WP recommends 154psi however, I felt that was too stiff for a traditional MX track. I would try 140-150, depending on your weight. I am 170 lbs without my gear, and I run 140psi, with 20-clicks out on compression, and 15-clicks out on rebound.
