  1. Tech/Setups for Supermoto
    So I'm converting a '08 KTM 690 Enduro to sumo with 17" Warp9 wheels The front is going from a 21" down to 17", while the rear only drops from 18"to 17" Does this technically not tip the geometry of the bike forward? Do I need to slide the forks down to lift the front up equal amounts to keep...

    Hey guys - I’m currently waiting for a new-to-me 2018 FS 450 to be shipped over from the west coast. My plan is to leave it mostly in stock condition, with the exception of a proper rear spring and some plastics I can beat on. I’ve got two questions. 1) I’m shopping for rear springs and it...
  3. Tech/Setups for Supermoto
    Hey all, I'm looking for some help setting up a new Honda. I raced an 09 successfully most of the season and hoped that I could get on a new bike and up to speed with similar ease. The 09 I have been racing has factory connection SM suspension and 10mm clamps. It feels solid like it's on a track...

    As with the engine tuning thread. I'd like for this thread to aggregate information about suspension for the 701SM. So far I've gone as far as play around with the clickers, but not much else. In its stock form, the bike can definitely use some help. Some things I'd like to cover: Your...

  8. Street Tarders
    My 17"s are understandably rubbing my FMF muffler on occasion. I assume this is when my wife hops on the bike for a short ride. I know that I can add spacers, but I want to keep the plastic/muffler where it is due to the luxury of easily having a second rider hopping on for easy-going rides. Is...

  12. Wanted
    Hey Guys, I'm picking up an 08 KTM 300XCW, but the bike has been lowered for a shorter rider. Being that I am 6'6" without my boots on, I think its safe to say its not the best set up for me! Anyone interested in lowering their KTM a few inches in an even trade for their stock suspension? Im...

    Just picked up a 2010 klx250sf and so far I love the bike, have done a few mods, two brothers exhaust, acerbis handguards, driven shift lever, license plate holder hack job haha, but the only thing I'm not loving is cornering on this thing. The dealer I bought it from did no suspension setup...

    I have a 2005 KTM 525 MXC, I tried a couple of SM practice days last year and really enjoyed it. Problem is the front forks are way to soft for this (even with heavy springs). N0te*these are open chamber forks with really plush valving Question- what to do? Option 1 - Revalve for supermoto -...
  17. Tech/Setups for Supermoto
    Hi all, I've just bought a crf250r and it's in full motocross setup. I'm looking to put some excel rims and get it motarded. I'm pretty new to this so is there a particular ride height I should be going for as far as handling goes? I know the street rims will drop it a bit but just wanted to...

    Hey, I'm sorry to start another suspension thread, but I've looked everywhere and can't find an anwer to my doubts. I own a 2007 YZ450F (yamaha) SuMo. I race it in my country on a say "rookie" level. (This is my 4th year racing on SM, 3 years road racing before that). My problem is that when...
  20. Tech/Setups for Supermoto
    I have a 2009 klx250sf, I'm 200 pound the person I bought the bike from was shorter and a lot skinnier so he had it lowered. This is my first bike I was wondering if I just tightened up the rear spring it would raise the seat height. Ps the person that sold it to me claims he only cut the front...
