As usual, another great tutorial. Thanks!

Great vid @jeff slavens ! Do I need to adjust the oil amount when I change springs ? Will it be altered by moving to heavier springs ?

[@crs2crs2]

Great video, thank you! Is a spring rattling noise normal on these forks?

[@slaverace1]

No

Hey Jeff, I have a 450 EXC 2014. I wanna change the fork springs however, Do i need to adjust any valving etc? Or is it as simple as this video is?

[@slaverace1]

You don't have to revalve the forks however they can be improved with a quality revalve. Try it with springs first then evaluate from there.

If you have time, I have a question. I just purchased a 2016 KTM 500EXC. I'm 5'6" and the stock height was way to tall for me. The dealer installed the KTM/WP lowering kit (50mm lower). The problem is, the dealer could not tell me what the spring rate now is. If you are familiar with this kit, do you know the spring rate of this kit?

That kit is a one size fits all so I usually don't recommend it unless you weigh between 165-187lbs.

Hello Jeff. For extreme enduro who's best, this one or wp xplor 2017?

[@madMX96]

any reason that your springs are 505mm when the manual calls for 513mm?

[@2wheelLove]

NVM, im an idiot. measurement in manual is length of spring with spacers.

The factory springs are also 505mm. 513 is with spacers
