Looked like y’all ran forks up in the clamps. I like the first line atm. I’ve found a lot of comfort and pros to the new ktm but sometimes feel it can have a narrow window for setup. Another main thing I’ve felt is it standing me up on non aggressive cornering… corners great when I get into it, but have felt stood up when I need to slightly bend and turn. Didn’t seem to help with forks raised to second line.

Very interesting content, would also be interesting to know what Spring-rate was used (front and rear) between the forks... as in my experience on the CV-forks most guys tend to go .2 lighter...
Thanks for sharing all this good information!!!

So I'm debating on doing this fork conversion on my 2023 300xc and setting it up for old man moto 45+ class I'm a fast novice and a very slow intermediate as far as ability. I also run some GNCC style local races I'm looking for 70 moto 30 woods . The question is should I revalve the rear shock to match the moto style 6500 springs or can this be done with the clickers on the rear? I'll jump doubles small triples and love to land in the harsh spot of long table tops 😆 177lbs no gear. Any advice is much appreciated

Is there a difference between the 6500 Xact Pro and Xplorer Pro cartridges? Can you put either one in an AER fork?
