Default Sachs forks on 2011

I have read all about ltr knowing what to do with the Sachs stuff but for me S.C. he is on the other side of the country. Is there anyone on the East coast who can do similar to what Les can do? If not i'll just send them there. We really don't have much to complain about the fork but I would like to have it working perfect. No rocks down here in the south east.

WER and I think Town and Country both have experience with the sachs. Both East coast. I've heard so many good things about Les as well. Hard choice.

Wer used to do my bikes and they all felt like marshmallows, town and country? I bought a bike there once (husaberg 1997) I'm not sure I would have them do my suspension. Les says he goes in there and does all sorts of things, more then just a re-valve I think. I'm still kicking around TTX though

I've got a set of TTX cartridges for sale in the parts section...

If I had the sachs I would have chosen the TTX route. I have zokes/ohlins and it took some time/revalving to get the forks right. They are pretty darned good now. My next bike will have the 48mm CC forks.

Mike, it was C-Cycle that I was thinking of, not town and country.

I'm pretty sure they used to do Jim Senecal's gassers. Its NETRA land up there so may be like WER's setup since its so rocky, rooty, and boney. TTX is not a bad option if you plan to keep the bike for a bit.

I'm originally from up north. I had c-cycle do a ktm a few years ago and it was one of my best set ups.

I know that Enduro Eng has an EC300 with Sachs suspension in their fleet of test bikes so I am pretty much guarantee that they have the suspension sorted out for them.

Just send it to Les and be done with it. MUCH more than a revalve, custom machining including that to use more standard size shims.
