Had my first 2hrs on a 2010 ec300.It has had no playing with the clickers or even sag adjustment & feels better than my 2000ec3oo with revalved WP forks.I don't know about the 2009 forks but these feel great.

Not sure about 2010, but I am loving my 2009 SACHS stuff.

Front what I know the 2010 Sachs fork valving has changed. They don't use delta shims in them - that has to be a good thing.
Anyone know where you can get a supplier that has a reliable stock of 7mm ID shims for these????

The 2010 Sachs forks take a little while to break in, but they are not bad stock. Unfortunately there are no reliable sources for 7mm ID shims, so you can try to roll your own or wait for someone (like me ) to make a kit that uses something different to do much tuning. As it is, just ride!

I have just bought the 2010 ec450 and find the forks are definately
better than my 07 300 zokes stock. They are brand new so will take a bit to break in but i am not hating them,they are fairly firm in the mid stroke but soak up the bigger hits quite well. I am going to keep riding as is and go from there, maybe play with spring rates and oil height,i am loving this bike! |

I don't think anyone makes a fork bleeder for the Sachs fork yet. I think it is a 3mm thread. Pretty small.
GoFasters has some under Fork Bleeders or Motion Pro's Bleeder Kit but you'll have to drill & tape the hole yourself. I had Les from LT Racer do mine up when he re-valved my forks.

bleeders
You can get a standard kit from motion pro to drill and tap bleeders for bikes that do not have them available or if you want a lower fit. Or you can purchase a replace ment bleeder set without the kit for far less money and any good machinist can get MP's specs and do it themselves with out the MP kit. I will go with option B....
Cheers, Rick PS thats what it looks like Les has done as they appear to be MP bleeders. (all MP bleeders are the same they just have adapters for different fork caps that the bleeders screw into.)

I have had a hard time with my 2010 sachs fortk. Very harsch ride on rocks and roots. I somehow diagonsed the problem to be too soft springs. original 4.2 was replaced with 4.5, but that was not enough.
yesterday I mounted the 5.0 N/mm K-tech kayaba springs (k-tech part no 435-460-50) and went for a spin. Now that's a plush fork. Very happy. Now i just need to get my rear end sorted, Been turning the clickers in all directions, need to reset and redo. |
