Front Fork Shocks

[bigclick]

Hi,

Possibly a silly question about front suspension on KTM Macina Lycon...

Are the two forks connected pneumatically?

I only have a valve for the air on the nearside fork and the dampening adjusment on the other fork but I dont see how they connect? Maybe they don't?

Doesn't look like it from the Video. Have you downloaded the manual for the forks from Fox to see what it says?

Lock em rigid and that'lll give you a few more hours

Seriously it'll depend if you're racing around on them on rough ground or using them on the road/paths.

Like top end Ohlins motorcycle shocks that if use for racing/track are meant to be serviced every 10 hours or if used on the street then every 20,000 miles.

Its a mixture of road, tow path and the odd weekend trail. I dont use it to commute
