I
Tried to do a search, but didn't find much.
I have a 2021 KTM 500 XCF with the MXT Lucky front springs system.
There's still something with the 2020 RIOT LE and this bike that just doesn't have the right feel compared to when I ride my neighbour's KTM 450 with a 2017 Camso. It's like I can't get enough power and it lags or get up into the next gear as need like a half gear. I might need to change gear ratios? But changing the suspension seems easiest first.
I have on the rear shock that upgraded spring 10" 105lb with the quick clicker set to least firm and 3/4 inch preload. Front skid shock is set to medium. factory preload. Anything I should adjust here? I honestly don't know enough about how these all interact.
Now to my main question though is front forks. I have the airpro and was running 15PSI then went to 19PSI and bike was a bit less soft and "higher" feeling. Thoughts on how much air to run? I see 15 mentioned.
What about compression and rebound? I have a setting for each on both shocks with that Lucky setup. Do I want as much compression as possible? What about rebound?
Forks in the triple clamps? I have mine maybe 1/8-3/16" below the top
Much thanks as I try to tweak this setup to get it over that lagging feeling. Mainly ride small hills, fields, rail bed sides, logging roads.
