Re: 2013 Suzuki RMZ450 Review by Steve O OEM-CYCLE consultan

I have in the past run revalved forks then ran the Ohlins cartridge kit and there was no comparison. The Ohlins kit was smoothe...

Revalve the front forks or just step up to the plate and drop a set of Ohlins ttx cartridges in it. Mucho bueno! Reducing the fork oil makes a big difference as well and is mucho cheapo.

Re: 2013 Suzuki RMZ450 Review by Steve O OEM-CYCLE consultan

I believe a revalve would solve the issue. They definitely put a supercross/motocross shim stack in the front end. Spring rate is good. Finding a happy medium in valving has always been an issue if your jumping between trail riding and motocross. A good trail bike will always feel too soft on the tr...

The following is a review of that bike based on a slow old man with withered knees and a tired back. So take it for what it's worth... I started off as we all sho...
