Anyone have directions specific to KTM group? Directions say on mid-valve side to install check spring, but was not included with kit and doesn’t have one stock. One included for compression valve but not rebound/mid valve. Reached out to race tech, but being a holiday not sure when I will get a response. Pretty mechanically inclined, but first revalue and race tech only gives vague instructions and you tube no specific KTM fork, except one guy who didn’t know he wasn’t recording when doing rebound
With a little help, figured out springs came bound together on each other. Had to take compression apart as I installed both springs on there. Just thought I would share in case happens to anyone else. They are so tiny they should package them in different baggies so they don’t end up together.
Did you have to drill a bleed hole in the piston? I have a gold valve kit that I never used because I didn't like the thoughts of that.. Tried the gold valve in my shock which I drilled the spec'd bleed hole in and wasn't too happy with how it worked. Just wondering how it all worked out for you
Yes, had to drill holes on the rebound side. Used a center punch to mark and wasn’t too bad. At my level of riding I probably wouldn’t have noticed a difference without the 1.3mm or whatever sized bikes in it. But the revalve definitely helped. They also recommend more oil and air pressure than I was running as well as running forks flush too that makes a difference.
