The suspension is awesome that for sure. My back end is 'breaking in' nicely compared to my front which was done by LT Racing
The whole bike just keeps getting better after every ride. Who needs a 'Magic Button' this bike start first kick almost every time.
Thanks,will do the same on the rear brake pedal.Exactly what did LTR do to the forks & to what effect?

He did a re-valve and machined some internal parts I'm sure there is much more. All I know is what ever he did I wish I had done on all my others bikes that's for sure.

Here is some good reading SACHS 48 mm FORK

The difference from normal shocks (only referring to other bikes owned, had forks done before I rode with stock set up) Riding at a normal speeds the forks suck up all the little bumps, rock, roots etc. Like they're not even there. Yet when you ride hard they work like they should.
How he gets them to work perfectly through out all operations is beyond me. But he did. And I'm a happy camper.

Thanks.I will run about 10hrs on them & decide whether to do any work on them.Right now I love them & wouldn't know what to change,they seem to do everything well.Just need to get some air bleeders.

While Les was working on mine, he also installed some Auto bleeders. Don't know why Sach never installed them while making their shocks when it is such an important part of tuning your suspension.
You would think they would include them like Husky did on all the Marzocchi forks on the 2009 models.

Am i right in assuming that you are saying that the GG forks do not have a bleed screw to relieve the air buildup in the forks?

You'd be wrong if you made the assumption ... the bleed screws that the Sachs forks come with have a ridiculously tiny hex head screw, so the trick is to get proper bleeders installed - then you get one-push pressure relief instead of trying to mess around with a little biddy screw.

ok thought that would have been a serious design flaw if that was the case

He's right on with the small fiddelly bleeder screw.Have 12 hrs on the bike now so need to take it in for a warranty service.I have gone 3 clicks harder on the front compression & 2 clicks on the rebound to slow it down.Now Working even better.The back just does it's thing with no funny business.Todays ride was on wet clay/rock & pine forest with plenty of exposed roots.Real slippery stuff but once I got the knack of changing up quicker than usual & letting the bottom end lug it around,it was fine.The bike handled all the roots & logs perfectly while taking the bigger hits on the open farm land sections.So another big tick in the terrain test box.Nothing negative to report so far.ummm? Air filter a bit vague getting it seated properly if I had to find a problem.But that could be me.We are going into winter & the stock tyre is just not doin it.Threw the back in favour of a Metzler MC5 but kept the front which is going well.

Hey gg3,
Glad the bike is working out so nice for ya...it just keeps getting better doesn't it.
I thought the air filter set up was pretty innovated, at least compared to anything Husky has to offer. Man you should see theirs.
