    Bottoming Forks Out - Requesting Feedback

    So I know fuckall about setting suspensions up. I do know it's bad to have your forks bottom out. Now, I knew I was braking pretty hard (the oncoming car was also a cop!)...but it didn't feel like I was nearly bottoming out. I was cruising at around 110 or so when I started to see the top of the...

    Adjusting oil level in Marzocchi forks

    I got excessive dive while braking hard, so I need to do something. Sags and spring rates are good, so I'm going to try 5 ml more oil in each leg. Is there anything I need to take care of when opening the forks? Springs that pop out or something like that? Never opened a fork before :P

    Ducati Superleggera forks vs 1199R forks

    Hi guys, just want to know if there is a difference between the SL forks and the stock 1199R forks aside from color? We have an 1199R now setup for racing and we are wondering if SL forks will be an improvement over thr stock forks

    Re-building forks on 1199S

    I'm about to change the front springs for a set more suited to my weight (heavy)but I'm wondering whether I should be re-valving etc as well or just buy a whole new cartridge? The aim is to get better track performance, probably doing some club racing with it. Has anyone done something similar?

    Left bike with forks compressed in storage....

    I left my bike in PDX a few days ago, won't be back for 4 weeks (7/4,5 and 6 at The Ridge). I forgot to loosen the front straps (back of Tacoma) and the forks are slightly compressed. Is it going to hurt anything? Mat

    New Ohlins Forks Or Cartridge Kit

    I have a 2013 Base. I weigh between 200 and 210. I'm too heavy for the stock suspension, the Sachs shock is trash, and I'm not waiting for my Marzocchi forks to fail. I know I'm going with Ohlins, because most local guys are familiar with them. TTX shock is a must. My only dilema is should I do...

    Preload (Ohlins Forks)

    Hi, I'm gonna preface this by saying that I'm a little lazy and don't have anyone to help me unload the bike, measure static sag etc..... So, could someone please give me a few tips here, as I'm sure that preload settings should be pretty transferable, based on rider weight. I'm around...

    Marzocchi Forks?

    Hey Guys, Im wondering if anybody has had their suspension dialed in at all with the marzocchis? Reason being, I had mine setup and just bouncing the front up and down to check basic settings, the rebound is too fast, even on full stiff. I think there might be something wrong with them...
