Cheers Marcus 👍

Thanks Marcus!

Tack för väldigt bra information
Uppskattar detta väldigt mycket 👍😊

inside info
KYB is going to release as aftermarket the 48mm fork.
So keep that in mind.

Good overview of options out there! I 've modded my standard cardridges with new springs, revalve,(add midvalve), new haudraulic stops and good oil. Love it and feel no difference with an 20mm cartridge kit.(Andreani) Therefor I dont see any improvement in going for these type of cardridge unless you go for some extra travel length. People should also realize that big piston cartridges are never that plush on tarmac. So spending big buks does not always result in better suspension for a given rider!

Hello Marcus , Attention OFF the Road (OTR Performance Cologne) wanted to cheat me off. I saw the video from Motorcycle Adventures about new suspension, I am same like Pavlin as weight and height. Then I ordered the same springs and Motul oil like Pavlin from OTR Cologne and I asked if the springs could be exchanged from OTR for my fork and shock absorber and they said yes. I dismantled my forks and shock absorber and sent them to OTR Cologne by post. Then I wait long time and I make a lot of pressure for the work to be done, my forks and rear spring were returned like have new springs. Then I opened my package and in the package were the Motul oil from the fork in the original canister, not in the fork how was ordered and I look at my shock absorber and was not untouched, the spring was not exchanged. Then I measured the spring, I got the masses from Pavlin video, the OEM spring was 11.51 mm, then the spring was not exchanged, as i realized. OTR spring 90 N / mm with 12.98 mm thick as pavlin wrote was not on the rear spring, then it was clear to me. I called and asked what happened and they told me need to check. Then confirmed was not exchanged because they seen I had an idea about mechanics. I was in business and I spoke with the manager and he told me he doesn't care what other people do in their business. He tries to convince me with different lies like in kindergarten. Also, in the store no one seems to have a clue about the moto bike and what's going on in the shop with the orders. I won't buy anything from OFF THE ROAD again or recommend anyone.

Hi Marcus, I am 75 kg, but factory recomended 10 clicks preload gives me almost 7 cm riders sag (35%). Increasing preload on 20 clicks gives me 6 cm sag (30%). But even at that preload and relatively hard commpression  I found that rear shock is going all the way down prity often. I ride mostly bumpy gravel roads.

Good explanations and sources.  I have Ohlins front cartridges and rear STX 46 shock /spring, still coming in. I'll feel how it does.  Thanks

That ohlins 48mm looks amazing but it costs almost half the bike lol. Got to pay to play but at that point you may as well get another bike

Hi there! I  finally have gone for a Worl Ride (now with 6k kms). Have you disassembled any to check what are the upgrades compared to a std T7?
And, more curiosity, have you checked the Aprilia Tuareg forks? opinon?
Thanks in advance!!! Have a nice weekeeeeeeend!!!!

Interesting if t700 world raid suspension can be used as an upgrade for standard tenere 700

cheap bike but crappy suspension,  i'd rather pay more for proper bike from factory. great vid BTW

Hi Marcus, thanks for the good explanations. I am the travel guy looking forward to improve my riding skils. Installed the touratech extreme shock and heavier fork springs. Now the rider sag is perfect to 30% front and rear. Adjustibilty covers solo riding up to bike fully loaded. But as I am only 174 cm tall, the bike feels a little too high for me, so I think of lowering the bike by 2 cm with longer dog bones. But will that reduce the travel and would i need a stiffer spring? Thanks in advance and cheers.

¡¡Great video!! (also previous "one") hard to find people explaining so easily "suspensions world". Thanks a lot!
By the way, I would like to ask you about the T7 WR suspensions. They say they are improved, and it seems they work better than the std. T7 (testers reviews). In previous comments, aparently, you have seen the 230mm KYB insides. Are they better suspensions? is the difference btw std and WR cost worthy at least for the suspensions upgrade? have you test the WR?
Looking forward to read your answers!!
Thanks a lot in advance and cheers from Barcelona!! 👍

Hei,

Jeg tenker og installere en 95nm (rallyraid) fjær bak, og 69nm (k-tech) fjærer fremme.
Bør jeg også bytte ventil kit i demperene eller holder dette?
Stort sett turer og lett offroad kjøring
