Yeah had Works Enduro rider Drew Smith do my beta 480 race edition Kybs. Even afterwards still feel my yz250 is silky smooth . He valved this also . Def going to buy those clickers
TBT works great on older bikes too! Morgan and company definitely have this stuff figured out. Great video as usual, Morgan!
Yes! Thank you!
Can’t wait to hear the ride report.
I think Yamaha tells KYB what they can send out to other manufacturers, it’s corp. sabotage. 😂 My Klx450 is an example of trash stock valving, haven’t ridden the Beta. Great video as always!!
Agree
You're simply awesome 👌 really liking your vlogs and look forward to the comparison test. Let's go
❤️🤘🏻
This bike is turning out soo sweet 😍
So sweet
I'm sure you'll love that hard endro set up it looked way different than stock. I'm really looking forward to getting my front suspension done here real soon by you Morgan 🤘🤘
Bravo maestro!
I would love to see you compare the stock 300RE against the stock 2024 ktm XC-W. Both top tier bikes yet you don’t see too many comparisons between the two. Love the channel!!!
Thanks. We will be doing that soon
Thanks for making the video, it was perfect warmup for me to do some upgrades to a bike.
Awesome
Yes. The only way to have SSS KYB forks is to take them straight off of the YZ’s. The KYB for WP conversion also just standard AOS (Air Oil Separation) stuff.
Yep. Which is why I like the Dal Soggio Spheres for cartridges.
Might be 200 specific but the 200 race edition actually has a shorter stroke. I didn’t know that until factory connection asked me if I wanted the kit with a longer dampening rod…
Time to upgrade my bike but unfortunately the Xtrainer has to be my main lady for at least another year. That 300 Race looks so fun to ride.
cant speak for the stock race edition suspension yet but im hoping itll be good enough for me stock. i ride a lot of hard enduro but i like my suspension setup for the faster paced riding. i think either way itll be an upgrade from my 11 year old suspension.
100%
Hey Morgan, great videos, really enjoy the content. Beta looks great in white, I know you love your KTM and have had good luck with the TBI unfortunately a lot of other riders haven’t had the same luck with the way their bikes run, hopefully your suspension upgrades will even the scales, I wonder if their are some engine mods other then a high compression head that can be done to bring the power closer to the XC tilting the scales ever greater, having a KS and no sensors and no erratic idle issues or fouled plugs along with a petcock valve is priceless.
Agree. But one thing that will never be as good is the vibration. I really wish they would counter balance them better
Still trying to get over those Orange highlights... My '22 Sachs shock could use some love...
Have you done a follow-up yet?
Yep. And I have installed spheres now too.
Great info I was wondering if u see the same for Sherco KYB bikes
I have a 21 300sef toying with making changes
Yes
Hi morgan !! I'm from Greece as can understand i cannot visit you could you suggest me a shim stack for my beta kyb forks with the indemnity of course like i visit you ..
Oh wow, you changes out the pretty beta plastics!!! Is the east coast valving an inbetween of hare scramble/hard enduro?
Yeah. Basically
On rider fork/shock spring rates, do you use the rider weight plus gear? 185 + 10 boots + 5 helmet + 3 clothes + 20 plus pack is close to 220lb.s. Do you use a 220lb rated spring?
Yes
Hi,I swap my sachs forks to a yz 250 kyb which i had shortened to match., feel better but quite stiff, can you recommend a good shim stack order setup ? I would bring the forks to tbt by i live in a different continent ..
Can you do any improvements to a set of WP bladder forks?
Yes. Those are great forks and we have very good settings for them
Curious about the riding impressions. All the non YZ KYB forks always feel really harsh to me. Even the Yamaha WR forks feel much more harsh than the YZ
Stay tuned
👍👍
What spring would you have in the forks if you was to do a gncc . As you weigh 180ish lbs.
Same as here
@@highlandcycles yes which is 4.4 or 4.6
@@waynebarker515 at 180 probably 4.4. I am 185-190 so I run 4.6
@@highlandcycles thanks Morgan. Been riding for 35years now. And there's only a handful of people in your business mainly suspension that are not full of bs. Keep filming. Say as is. Well done Morgan.
Hey Morgan is the kyb forks on the 300 46mm. what size fork cap tool is used to hold the inner part of the cap?
They are 48mm and the inner tool is a motion pro tool.
What is your opinion on the 300 RR Sachs vs the Race KYB? I have a 2019 RR , wondering how much better the suspension could be?
The KYB is a far superior platform. Out of the box it’s not amazing but it’s easy to make it that way. The Sachs is very limited in what you can do
How's the ground clearance on the new beta? Specs show its a lot lower than ktm. Have you noticed when riding?
I have actually. I’ve hit the skid plate quite a few times
Hi guys is it possible to buy from you extreme enduro shim stack ( wich size of shims you use ) for beta kyb fork 2021 ?
No. We don’t sell stacks.
I have a KYB fork question. Not sure how many you answer over the internet, but… 10 YZ450. I did new seals/bushings. Seems to work fine, a bit stiff If anything. The issue is when I take it off the stand it compresses the forks about an inch and a half under the weight of the bike. Seems excessive. I was thinking I need to re do my bleed job and double check my fluid level on the inner cartridge. Does that sound like the right direction to check?
Yes. Also check the preload on the springs.
@@highlandcyclesthanks man!
One more Q. Is Maxima 5w ok for this or am I better off with KYB 01M?
@@Josh-Silvia maxima is great
Thanks!
Do you sell the shim stacks? I live in Norway so sending in the suspension is not an option :(
We dont
Hey do you sell shim stack settings ?
For the life of me i cannot get desired results from any shop i have been to here in australia its driving me 🥜
Or are xact forks just rubbish compared to dual spring forks 😅
We don’t sell stacks. The AER forks are tough to setup but we have had great luck with a cone valve conversion on them. We add a cone mid valve to the right fork then valve that for the customer. Work great.
Whats the old girl in back?
Hmmm I'm not convinced there's that much of a difference between the AOS and SSS. I'm pretty sure the only major difference between Yamaha KYB (SSS) and Beta KYB (AOS), is the 18mm versus 16mm mid valve piston diameter. Both share the trampoline style mid valve post. Not to mention that even if they were exactly the same; the bikes would always feel different due to, mostly, aluminum versus steel frame.
Agree but the little differences make a big difference in how they work.
