KLE pumping up the forks
 

I have read numerous times that adding air to the front forks on the KLE will reduce dive under brakes and also help in the handling department. I am going to start with around 10psi, the big question is do I measure the pressure with the forks unloaded and the wheel off the ground or loaded with the bike standing on its own? I figure there the air volume in the forks is fairly small so the difference between loaded and unloaded could be rather large.

You got me thinking now, I put 10psi in mine while the bike was on front and rear paddock stands.

I would think the best way would when the bike is on the groung under load.


I noticed a fair difference when I did it, the bike did not nose dive half as bad. I would not go any higher in pressure then that to preserve your seals.

Im off now to check mine(on the floor)

Did anyone find out the answer to this question??

3.5 bars!!
 

I put 3.5 bars in mine and i also drop 2 cm the front shocks so that the bike would be with the nose down a bit......that is all due to 2 passenger and millions of bags....400kg in total!!! :)!!

the mechanic put 3.5 bars...or PSI...i'm not super sure....whichever is the wickets unit. the bike rised a lot and was much better on the corners with all that weight....

i do not mind the nose dive tho....it's easier to reverse the bike with it!!!


PS

I HAVE A KLR 650...but i guess they are the same shocks!!!
