I have the full Kreft package on my 17 TX300. I ride enduro, GP, hare scrambles, desert, moto and the suspension handles it all with just a few clicker adjustments. The revalve control on the forks works amazing but you have to put in some time to test and get best settings for all the different terrain you ride.
I bought a 2015 TE300 that has Kreft suspension already. Works really well after I put springs for my weight on. The customer service responded quickly to answer a question I had.
What a cutie! Looking forward to your report. I gotta ask the obvious question. Why wouldn't the manufacturer not have already optimized the suspension for their premium bike? Is this a psychological change (or magic) or can the changes be measured with instruments? Can we see graphs of the measured damping force vs linear velocity along the stroke for before and after? And an explanation of which is better and why?
OEM Suspension (valving and spring rates) is engineered by the manufacture to be “compliant” for the general population. Suspension is not “one size fits all”, however. Clicker adjustments can help your suspension feel more firm or more soft only. A good suspension tuner can tune your suspension for single track to feel more plush on the top/initial part of the stroke, as well as increasing bottoming resistance. It truly is magic 😊
Question on Shipping, I've seen many great shops will send you a box, then you ship, then there is return shipping, what is the approximate shipping charge(ya, it's expensive) Sometimes the shippers charge extra for long boxes. I've got a bike I'd like to have the suspension tuned up a bit!!
Hey how about giving MX-tech a shot. They have a new rear “national” shock that looks pretty sweet. They’ve done a great job on all my bikes!!! Great videos thanks !

Check out some of the vids on my channel with the TE150 in the title. I'll be doing a 6 month review in a month or so.
I just had Kreft do the suspension on my new TE300i also. Dialing it in is going slow up here in frozen New England. I'm really looking forward to your reviews on this upgrade vs Race Tech.
I have a challenge to all these dirtbike channels to cover a subject that none of them have: Make a video that actually TECHNICALLY explains how any of these companies revalve/modify suspension to serve a different purpose or weight and explain how/why these companies are able to tune suspension better than the major brands that have been doing it for decades. It seems like no one wants to talk about this? It's just: "oh its a black art, just send it out to a,b,c,d,e,f,g."
What percentage of weekend warriors outride the capabilities of the stock suspension on these modern bikes? Jarvis goes all over the world putting on clinics and gets bone stock loaner bikes. He seems fine LOL!!
Shouldn't you wait to do the re-valve, as it might not suit the new owner. He or she might be lighter or heaver than you, I'm only 138 pounds so your bikes would need a re-valve and new spring rate to suit me.
He'll get the stock springs returned to him from Kreft, and since they ask for your weight with all of your gear, they should be appropriate for your weight. You could swap them in about an hour.
Really like the Te300i! That little snippet at the end with you daughter was heartwarming Kyle!
So glad I live so close to the Kreft Moto guys! They let me have a shop tour, and they work on a lot of Baja bikes set up for desert riding.

Great video hun! It has such a good vibe! Love the snidbits of our girls! ❤️

Good vibe in this video. Reminds me of the much older videos. I dig it.
I love that Husky! I am hoping for a TX300 TPI in the near future.
I couldn’t agree more!
What a cutie!

Kreft has those graphs and some videos on their site.

Kyle, any predictions with the re-valved Husky (linkage) vs the KTM (PDS)?
Awesome. Thanks.
Kids are cute!
The girls are cuties. Mercy are you going to have your hands full in about 10 years. Be safe!
Looking forward to the suspension comparison.
Hey Kyle, I'm heading to Moab for a couple days in March. Wanted to know if you have been there and if you had some info on trails to check out?!
Just a thought, wrap a strap/tie-down between the engine and frame and secure it to the bike stand so the bike doesn't wobble around and fall?
The stand has an attachment spring for that purpose if you look closely...
hey Kyle just wandering is the give away just for the US as I'm in the UK .thanks
Before people lose their you know what the brake lines are steel braided so letting it hang is fine
How do I enter to win this TE300i? My dream bike! I don't even care if it's used. I'm up in Idaho near the Tetons. Thank you Kyle!

Cute kids beautiful bike
my favourite bike
I’ve been thinking about using Kreft Moto for my TE150. I ride some pretty technical terrain so anything will help. Can’t wait to see your review!
supergarball I also have a TE150, and I’m getting Kreft suspension soon. What are some of the mods you put on your 150?

supergarball Nice. I’ll make sure to check your vids out
Cute girl, beautiful family and I love your channel 👍
What brand is that stand you are using? Do you like it?
He reviewed it last year, see video link, ruclips.net/video/HhMiuvsSiJE/видео.html
Oh yeah
Awesome, I hope I win one of the bikes this year!
Hey bub can we still do mail in entrys for the bike?
I wish Kreft worked on the 690/701 bikes.
what is the wire for going to the front caliper is it a censor or for the speedo thanks
l3yfajamz think so
+MotoStrikerUnit thanks dude

So cute baby
You have a cute little daughter Kyle 😊
Are you wearing your chest protector under your shirt? Good job!
No he isn't.
He just doesn't have bitch tits. Good man Kyle.

Nice vid👍👍
Does anyone know how long those axp skid plates take to deliver to the USA?
I have that bike too. The alternative is to pull the swingarm bolt. Might as well grease everything while you're at it.
Slavens and RMATV stock them. You can use the link on Dirtbikechannel.com to access RMATV.
I want that bike
Dog tags. Were you in the military?

It’s the worst possible way to take the shock out
What is the best possible way?
