KYB SSS Fork

Dissecting the KYB SSS Fork to discover the pros and cons of this design and elaborating on performance upgrades both economical and extreme.
Looking at available kits from Race Tech and Dal Soggio.
Also discussing low friction coatings.

Superb video. Thanks, Terry - really helpful in explaining how the cartridge system works & can be improved.

The way you explain suspension is so easy to under stand, thank you

i've been diving into the suspension on my 17 250 xc this is by far the best info on Ut00b about how forks work i have gold valves on my AER forks, and i just put the JBI subvalve on it to mimic the SSS valve, and i really like it, just road it once but it's better than before ... just put a racetech bladder on the shock and revalved it, got too cheap to buy the gold valve, tho probably should have .... thanks for the great info, i gotta read some more ....

Love the thought process, good stuff.

[jamesklauzner]

Another awesome and education vid, thank you.

Awesome video with tons of info. I’ve heard good things about the JBI pro perch and the Enzo Technica spring tube upgrades. Do you have any insight on these? And also is the gold valve only needed for the compression not on the rebound?

[touristracer]

really interesting! will be nice if you can make similar video for the wp 4860cc. great contents :)

Great video Terry, very informative !

Hey Terry....Jlo here from So Cal (you used to tune my suspension when I lived in Aus back in the early 2000s). Fantastic videos you've been putting up on youtube!! Keep up the amazing suspension clinics! Wish I still lived there, could use your help with a few bikes I've got (R1 track bike, 1290 Superduke street bike, Husky FS450 Supermoto Bike and Husky 501 desert sled). Maybe I fly you up here for a little one on one tuning!?!?

Cheers, keep up the great informative work!

Hey these are great videos? Can you clarify if I have a 2021 yz250f that has the pistons drilled from factory can I still remove the top oring for less friction? Or best not to? Thanks for the videos!

[Souperd]

At around 15:16, a cartridge is mentioned but I couldn't make out the name. Delsol GSV? Would love to know the proper name of the referenced cartridge so I can research them. Thanks in advance and thanks for this video.

Thank you again for your great videos. I may be stupid but i still dont understand when you should change damping on the base valve or the compression side of the mid valve. I cant find any videos or anything that explains this either. Also having float on the mid valve does not make any sense to me either.

[lostinpa-dadenduro]

What impact do the pressure springs have on feel? Should a lighter one be used for a different type of terrain, like really rocky, slow single track, or for a lighter rider ?

[cowpkerlife]

Whats normal float for mid valve have do same to base valve. Need change shim stack match or should just make small bumps softer?

[antonioaraujo]

Why change the trampoline valve to a spring? I’m sure it depends on application and correct me if I’m wrong, but changing the float by shim stack height on the leaf or trampoline valve seems to have more adjustment range than changing to a spring. As for the compression piston why not just use thicker shims?
Best regards from Portugal!

HI Many thanks for your nice video, since you are so knowledgeable about the kyb forks i have a question. I gave my forks for service for my VFR1200F & when i got it back the rebound adjuster has play moving up & down now. When i adjusted it i noticed it moving by about 2mm down. I would ride a bit & it would pop out again. To add to the issue i have fully seated the adjuster just to get rebound on the forks. What could be wrong? Thanks!!

[erikduley]

Hi Terry, excellent video. How do you rate the Delsogio Sphere V WP 6500 ?

[brianchase]

Hello Brian from Canada, I am running Gold valves in my 18 yz250f along with the separator valve in the rear , which I believe is your design . Maybe you could talk about that . Also what brands of fork fluid do you recommend . Thanks

[ChookChasersMX]

Hi Terry, when you say the latest rebound settings are a little questionable, are you able to enlighten us by what you mean by this?
Cheers 🍻

[Motoinc]

If I buy your cartridge, and valve....du you include recommended shimstack for diffrent terrain?
Or is this all for stock shimstack?
