Kinda have a woody for this right now.Īlso, to the OP original question.I thought the AER 48's were supposed to be quite a bit better than the 4CS forks?Īlso, to the OP original question. Gawd dang it.I just want to ride one with that setup and see what it's like. 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? He mentioned that he had a 16' 350F which had the set of cone valve forks up front, and said they are beyond incredible.Įverything 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. The shim stack makes them more like the KYB style forks like AOSS and SSS forks. ML512 has stated several times that factory WP riders have used both shim stacks and cone valve mid valves. With the main MV piston removed from the post, with the damper rod clamped in a vice, push down on the top of. The CV forks are quite sensitive to changes in this area. He was riding a 2012 KTM 250 SX that had the trax shock and a modified set of front forks ( Not cone valve ) and said it was an incredible compared to a re-worked set of stock stuff. My yardstick of forks were a set of 2011 Kawasaki AOSS Spring forks I had on my 2016 KX450 that were done by Enzo. 10 shims under the cone valve transfer piston as you put it will take small amounts of preload off the CV spring, which will help you achieve some more compliance. It was a HUGE step up from any stock KTM/Husky fork I've ever ridden they always feel like there's no oil in them stock.I rode with a local guy yesterday ( # 109, can't remember his name ) up at Mtn view yesterday. It turns awesome and feels well balanced, although the springs are a bit heavy for my weight. Although I'm faster/younger, I'm a lot lighter (165lbs vs 220lbs). I got the impression that it boiled down to a communication issue with FC. fork valving in the cone fork doesn't give him the confidence the RG3 valving in the Showa fork gives. (I attribute that to the longer fork-lug offset on his particular Showa fork). He says the A-kit handles jumps and stuff better, but the cones turn slightly better. Initially, we modified some X-trig clamps and made some custom axle collars to put his older spring a-kit fork on the bike until he had his Cone valve stuff done. That's a big statement since he's been riding A-kit stuff. The rear shock, according to him, is one of the best he's ever had. He bought cone forks and had the stock shock valved/sprung by Factory Connection. TLDR = The revalved stock shock is great. My buddy went from a KX450 to a Rockstar 450 Husky.
