Beta Riders Having Issues With Sachs Forks

Some of the revalves are getting so stupidly expensive it is no wonder the fork swap looks good. I do think there are some great reasonable tuners for these forks that no one seems to try. I have a spare set of Sachs that I'm thinking of sending to Les to prove my point. If my Zokes actually wear out (Two sets are very good after many miles) I have these anyway. I think the technology has passed the consumer and all the adjustments are getting people in trouble. Face it. It is really easy to get a bike screwed up. These bikes are all good.

Nice post.

Best suspension I ever had was Sachs that had been revalved by Trailtricks on a 2010 gasser.

You should read up on the new air forks on the 15' kx450f. It is just plain stupid. You definitely hit the nail on the head with technology passing the consumer.

Yes, I agree. Btw, I just had the chance to ride a Husky 310 which had a set of 2015 Sachs forks off a Beta. The sachs forks externally looked very nice, high quality. During the ride they felt good, maybe a little harsh in the mid stroke but otherwise very nice. IMHO proper set up seems to be the key. My Zokes were set up by WER and I have never had a problem.
