Works Enduro KYB Dirt Bike Fork Build (Beta 350) Part 1

Drew Smith is an 18 times ISDE finisher with seven gold medals to his name. He was also an R & D rider and developer for most of the big names in off-road.
Drew starts Works Enduro Rider (WER) werproducts.net/ to build custom suspension for riders and racers of all abilities.
Sam Fleming had the opportunity to spend a morning with Drew looking at the design of the KYB SSS sealed chamber 48mm fork, how the factories set it up, and how he modifies it for Sam’s racing/riding endeavors.
If you have ever wondered what the whole “fork revalve” thing looks like on the inside, this series is for you.

I remember him racing back in the day. Yea I'm old too. For some reason I have always loved the way suspension works, it's kind of like a secret art form to get it to perform at its best. I just got a 21 Z900RS and am playing with the clickers to get it a more compliant for my riding. Keep up the videos,Sam!

Where's the TM I love that bike tell us more about the TM

[@armyofdarknessmotorcyclesb2883]

We're working on some more TM stuff as well! The TM has the same KYB suspension so the forks build were pretty similar between the Beta and the TM and Drew did them both!
