I’ve watched a few videos on how to do forks but none have been as well explained or shown the detail as yours. This will be my go to video when I have to eventually have to attend to mine. If only Ozark World Headquarters were near me, I would know where to go to for advice.
Good to hear from you sir.. glad you liked the video. I am always available for advice for what it is worth... thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Hey, thanks so much for your clear and highly informative videos. I’m looking to buy a 650 Vstrom in the spring and you’ve given me loads of great modification ideas already! I can’t wait to get started 😃
Good to hear from you sir, glad you liked the video. Installing the Gold Valve Emulators in the V-Strom forks is the single best modification I have ever made on a motorcycle. It totally changed the bike. It is quite good on rough gravel roads and trails now... thanks for watching and good luck with all your projects... :)
Very informative video. I'm not doing the upgrade on my 650, although I should, but I did get the knowledge and confidence to service my forks. Thank you!
Very interesting video. Thank you. Since I am waiting for my 2022 model 650XT to arrive I've subscribed to your channel for other bits of information to improve my bike.
Certainly the best Gold Valve install video out there and one of the best how-to's in general. Thanks! I'm about to install GV's on another bike but wasn't sure on a cou0ple of things but this video makes it all clear.
Your video is great, well done. It always give me a laugh when we refer to inches in decimals, metric is winning the game haha. Thanks for the great production.
Good to hear from you sir, glad you liked the video. Be sure and contact Racetech before ordering your springs, they can tell you the correct spring rate to order for your bike,weight, riding style ect. Good luck, thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Thanks for sharing. I just came across your channel and am enjoying watching you modify your Vstrom. I currently ride a Kawasaki 650 KLR. Have subscribed and look forward to watching more of your content. Regards from S Africa
good to hear from you sir, I bet that KLR comes in quite handy there in SA... Glad to have you with us on the channel, thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Hello from Ireland,,Absolutely fantastic video, i recently bought a 2020 v strom 650 came from a 2005 1200gs & the only complaint i have is the front is too soft, other than that the v strom is a far nicer bike to ride than the GS. Ill be certainly doing this mod , thank you again for the excellent well explained video.
"...and it is lime you don't have any suspension at all" - this is exactly very same comment upon the front suspension of my Vstrom 650XT. You could not be more accurate.
Thanks for taking the time to give us detailed instructions and an explanation why. I did notice aluminum spacers that came with the valve kit, I assume that they are not used in this particular application ?
Hello there sir, good to hear from you... The valve kit comes with some steel tube that you can cut to length and use for spacers. I used 1" schedule 40 PCV pipe for spacers on my bike but either one is fine... thanks for watching and keep safe out there... :)
Thank you very much for a very helpful video. I finally got around to doing this upgrade to my 2015 Vstrom XT. I had a fork seal leaking a thought I might as well do the upgrade while I at it.
How did the wide quality chance ? I recently both a v strom and I find the compression is too high/stiff. At low speeds and at high speeds, a lot of the ground/road small imperfections travel up to the bars. Making for uncomfortable ride The big bumps are smoother
@@flozanoj yes sir, with the cartridge emulators the suspension works an soaks up the hits unlike the stock damper rod dampening that will jar your teeth out when you hit a small hole... Thanks for watching... :)
Great video, thanks for showing everything in such detail! How did you calculate the 20 mm sag when sitting on the bike? I thought it should be way more, like a quarter to a third of suspension travel?
Hello there sir, I set the sag on my bike to be 20mm less than it was stock. My bike had 40mm sag stock so I set mine to 20mm. I am happy with the suspension performance and handling with this set up. If you want to keep yours at stock height just measure your sag before you install the emulators and set it back to that height. Good luck with your projects and keep safe out there... :)
Finally, a video step by step that explains everything in detail. I have a vstrom 05 and my problem is when i put my bike in off road with big holes,rocks etc i get a pavement sounds like klonk-klank.Not in a straight road.EMULATORS Correcting this? I will need and Spring Replacement? I want to make my front suspension smooth.Thank you again for the great video.
Hello there sir, Yes the Emulators will smooth out those dirt roads. You will also need to replace the front springs when you do it. The emulators manufacturers tech support people can help you select the proper springs for your application before you order your parts. You can call or email tech support at racetech.com for that information.... Thanks for watching, good luck with your project and keep safe out there... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 Οκ thank you Sir.Now after installation this kit when you go in abnormal road,when you go down or up the sidewalks does the suspension hit?I mean makes a noise like a knock knock in sharp puddle or bump or has a quiet and velvety function?By the way the spacers for the preload you install its from pvc?Im sorry for a lot of questions but you understand me...Thank you again.
@@bitfly2 hey there... I haven't heard any unusual noises from the front forks. They are quiet when going over rough terrane. They just sound like any other motorcycle I have ridden. Yes I used PVC pipe for my spacers but the kit comes with metal tubing you can use for the spacers. Good luck with your project... thanks for watching... :)
Great video Jon. For someone like me who's planning to ride 95/5 (road/off road), would you advise to change just the springs (back and front) or also do the emulators?
Good to hear from you sir, If you aren't going to be doing much dirt I would say go ahead and skip the emulators. The emulators really shine on rough tracks but on the highway it is hard to tell much difference with them... Good luck sir and thanks for watching... :)
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. You should be able to buzz the damper rod bolt out with an impact gun if you do it before you remove the spring from the fork leg. The spring pressure holds down on the damper rod and helps to keep it from turning. At 7:10 in the video I cover this. The same holds true when you go to put the final torque on the damper rod bolt... do it after the spring is re-installed. If you get a stubborn damper rod bolt that does spin the damper rod with the spring in and an impact or buzz gun won't remove it then you will need a damper rod holding tool like this one.... www.revzilla.com/search?_utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=damper+rod+holding+tool Stick this baby in the end of the damper rod and use a long extension or several short ones together and hold it with a ratchet and you can remove or torque the damper rod bolt... Good luck and thanks for watching... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 - Thanks! It's good to know that a special tool isn't always necessary to hold the damper rod from spinning when removing that end bolt - and it's good to know that special tools ARE available if they're needed.

Hello there sir, good to hear from you. Yes those are one and a half inch rise ROX risers. That is about 40mm of rise.

Wow that was very very informative. Do these cartridges lift the forks higher and increase the ground clearance as well? Also, what size of Rox risers would you recommend for the vStrom650 2020 without the need for changing the cables ?
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. The cartridge emulators wont give any lift to the forks but the length of spacer used will determine the ride height of the front forks.

Hello there sir, good to hear from you. If your front forks are bottoming out your bike probably is not sprung properly. Your best bet would be to install heavier springs in the fork first and see how that does. Emulators only work with damper rod forks. Your 1050xt has proper up side down cartridge dampened forks so emulators are not an option for you. You can turn the compression dampening up on the front forks to reduce the amount of dive in the front forks as well to reduce and perhaps stop the front forks from bottoming out... good luck and thanks for watching... :)

When I buy a my new 650 xt I would not do any of such procedures in order to get 1 mm here and 1 mm there damaging original parts for sure. I don't think that I'm or some small garage manufacturers of springs and dampers are smarter then Suzuki's engineers.
