- Adjusting my Rear shock - suspension setup. Rebound, fast and slow speed compression damping adjustment on WP Rear suspension shock.
Basically I haven’t been able to get out on the weekends due to lockdown so I thought I’d adjust the suspension and film as I go. It’s an easy setup to adjust especially with the manufacturers specs in the manual, but do keep in mind the sag of the bike and your weight in relation to the spring rate.
Thank you for watching!!

Finally someone talking sense. The suspense of waiting for one was unbearable. I can bounce around with joy now. A real rebound for me . Great vid, well presented mal.
It definitely gave me a bit of a spring in my step when I decided I was going to make the video 😄
Finally I got a clarity .. clear explanations.. love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳.. 👍👏👏🙏
I’m glad the video helped. Thank you for watching, much love to you in India from Wales 🏴❤️
Excellent and simple to understand. Thanks
Awesome, I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting, it’s much appreciated 👍🏻
Excellent info there Mal, I've just revalved and resprung my own bike as it goes, ready to try those lovely Odi grips and Briskers out 😁 Great news on the 600+ subscribers keep it up, and thanks again for being so generous with the great give aways 😎👍🏼
Cheers dude 👌🏻. Fair play, bet that was fun to do! Haha bright grips and Briskers are going to look mega! Cheers bud, it’s all down to you lot sticking with the channel which I really appreciate so it’s nice to give back 👍🏻
Great video thank you
@@rossdburke thanks Ross, happy riding dude ✊🏻
Great vid & Congrats on hitting 600... 🎉🎉🎉
✌
Thank you very much, couldn’t be there without you 👌🏻
@@MALVSMACHINE 👊👍✌️
"Just broken 600 subscribers" seems like it's such a long time ago now!
Yeah, I was going to pack it in around 700 subs but it kept growing steadily so I decided to keep at it as I quite enjoy it.
Will be learning and doing more with it next year so am investing in some good gear, and will learn how to use it and fit it all together…. And will buy a nice old project to tinker with, bring some variety and all that.
Great video mate, very helpful. cheers!
Thanks Jace, I’m glad you found it helpful. Happy riding ✊🏻👍🏻
Such a simple explanation thank you very much for that information
No Problem James, hope it helps 👍🏻
2 years old but still very relevant
Cheers 🤘🏻. Absolutely, hopefully still helping those who are unsure about adjusting their suspension.
Great video and explanation man !
Thank you dude, thanks for watching 👌🏻
Good job - Thankyou
Thank you 👌🏻
Great video...thanks!!
No probs, hope it helps 👍🏻
ty man really good video !
Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it Tamir ✊🏻.
Great content bud 👍
Thank you mate, and thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate it!
This is me adjusting my rear suspension, as the title suggests. It’s not a ‘how to’. I filmed it and just added a bit of information in the hope it helps someone in the future. If it does, please help a fellow biker out by dropping a like and subscribing 🙂👍🏻. Front Suspension Vid will be linked at the end card.
Good one
Remember this bike was built from a country that's average height is 5'11" it's good suspension.
Yeah you’re right there, I’ve got no issue with the suspension or the height, it was just too soft because the weight of me and my gear combined were higher than what the standard spring is rated to. I now have an uprated spring to suit the weight of me and my gear as well, so I’ve got the feeling that I like 👍🏻.
thanks brilliant
Nice little vid, are you limited to using that exact number of clicks? or can you vary the amount between say standard and sport? Also congrats on hitting 600!
Cheers dude. There’s only a click in between each setting but when you look at how many clicks there are between comfort and sport, you can see that it doesn’t take a lot to change the dynamics of the shock.
If someone isn’t getting anywhere with the standard settings, changing the spring for a stiffer or softer one is always an option, or you can go down the route of paying for a suspension company to change the internals. For me, I think the current adjustability of this shock is plenty but I am tempted to change the spring to see how it behaves with my fat-ness.
Thanks for the thanks, but thank you for being a subscriber 👌🏻
You need to set your sag, and rider sag first with all your riding kit on. The manual details this. My ktm is 37mm I think.
I don’t have a 17 mm nut where it should be and shows in the manual. I do have a a low speed adjustment but where the high speed nut should be it just a circle with two long flat sides about 21mm. Anytime I tried moving it I would just start to round the edges. Any advice?
Hello my friend. Unfortunately adjustments in this video are specified for this suspension through the experience I have with adjusting it. I cannot comment on the suspension modifications that have been made to your suspension so cannot advise on what you need to do. I really do wish I could help but on this occasions I can only comment on what I know with regards to what I know about my setup.
Thank You!!!!!
😄👍🏻 hope it helps!
the first one is countre clock wise
What are you on about mate, the first what is counter clockwise?
Discovered my high speed nut it locked solid against the larger (22mm?) nut behind it. If I try to loosen the high speed nut, the larger nut moves, not the adj nut. What to do?
Hi Doug, the only thing that comes to mind is to spray the adjustment nut with some penetrating fluid to try and get some lubrication in between it and the larger bolt behind it, then use a spanner to hold the large nut while trying to work the adjustment nut loose.
how do i adjust my front sus? ktm 85 22
Hello dude. I don’t have an 85 SX but the KTM Manual has everything you need:
www.ktm.com/en-us/service/manuals.html
Hopefully that link will work, if not, type ‘KTM User manual’ in to google and you can find it through there - then type 85 SX in the box. The manual is free 👍🏻.
So I always thought that the more counterclockwise you went on the rebound the faster the shock was going to rebound
It’s always been a bit of a dark art to me to be fair, but I had a good read of the the user manual and compared what they have in that with some other guides online and once I got a hang of the different meanings, it was quite easy to understand what I was doing with that particular shock; other setups may differ though.
I’ve recently changed the spring so will be good to see how the ‘Race’, ‘Comfort’ and ‘Sport’ settings fair with a spring more suitable for my weight and gear.
I only say that because the clockwise motion should restrict the flow of oil and make the rebound slower. But the husky manual says go the opposite for comfort which implies soft or slower rebound. When I go in with mine, it does feel weird like maybe it’s opposite of what I think.
@@rfunk8198 yeah it’s a strange one isn’t it, they must have their valves set to open when turning clockwise. Suspension ay, absolute dark art 😄
No so needed bad habit bruh
@@rfunk8198the reason it says that is because adjusting rebound can have an effect on compression. Going counter clockwise will speed up rebound but also makes the suspension feel more plush as well. Many riders get compression where they want and then only make slight changes to rebound for different terrain types because of its overall effect on suspension feel.
Himate can you av sranded in rear an sport in front or avit got to be the same all round
Hi Gareth, hope you’re well 👍🏻.
It doesn’t have to be the same in the front and rear, It’s personal preference really mate. A bit of trial and error to get the best feeling for you 👌🏻
@@MALVSMACHINE hi mate how you doing? Did you go for tha job abroad after,, i watched your video yestaday in work went home an changed all the clickers to sport front an back havnt ridden it yet tho lol they were all on standed ive always been to frightened to touch um but tha video you made it easier for me,, thanyou
@@gareth5494 I’m good thanks mate, hope you’re well too! I did indeed, I left the UK on 23rd May and will be back home around mid September. I’m proper missing my bike though, and Can’t get hold of anything like it so I’m spending my time working and learning about my GoPro and 360 camera, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to make better videos when I get home 😄.
That’s class fair play, fingers crossed it’ll be more to your liking and more fun when you ride next, it’s great to know the vid helped you get stuck in there as well👌🏻.
thx, seems the same on fc250. what about front forks? is there any guide to adjust these?
There is a guide, I’m hoping to make a video soon but as soon as I get back home later, I’ll reply with the info and hopefully it will be the same way to adjust yours as well 👍🏻
Hi, so, I’ve got the info for the forks which I’m hoping will be the same as yours.
The white adjuster which is on the top of the left fork is for the compression and the red adjuster on the right hand fork is for the rebound.
Turn the adjusters clockwise as far as they can go and the settings are as follows:
Sport - 12 clicks
Standard - 15 clicks
Comfort - 18 clicks
To adjust the spring preload of the fork, you have to raise the bike off the floor.
The outer adjusters on the top of each fork are called T-grips and they adjust the preload.
Turn those counterclockwise all the way and marking +O should align with the right side T-grip on both forks.
Comfort and Standard are both +O according to the manual.
Sport is +3.
I hope that helps - but I will make a video for it soon as I haven’t really played with my front suspension yet, and it feels quite dead so I need to do something with it. Thanks for your question 😊👍🏻✊🏻
@@MALVSMACHINE thank you for this. i will test comfort. im 70kg on standard spring. fc250 but for trails and endoro rides, comfort might be better
@@lauriL90 no problem at all. Yeah comfort should do the trick. Have fun ✊🏻
So does anyone do 14 clicks? Any reason to not go halfway between std and hard?
Probably, have a play around and see if it makes any difference, there’s nothing that says you can’t go in between 👍🏻.
