Fork Service Details

   
KTM / WP Forks - OPTION 1 - STANDARD REVALVE $200 + Parts
Includes complete reworking of compression and mid-valves, tailored to your type of terrain and skill level. Rebound damping is matched to the correct spring rate and the forks are filled and bled with the exact volume of oil.
   
KTM / WP Forks - OPTION 2 - APS SYSTEM $425 + Parts
The second option labeled "APS" is a completely different design than current systems being used. The name refers to Advanced Progressive System which allows for multiple rates of compression damping. Super plush initial travel, yet gradually stiffer through the stroke with incredible resistance to bottoming.

The end result is superior performance that utilizes three separate compression adjusters (low, mid and high). Another benefit is the ability to adjust both compression and rebound damping on the fly.
   
KTM / WP Forks - OPTION 3 - APS 2 SYSTEM (For '07 - '08 SX and XC) $375 + Parts
This system is designed exclusively for the new bladder forks. The result of countless hours of testing, you can expect the ultimate in performance. Includes complete revalving of internals along with custom made compression pistons that flow the perfect amount of oil.

Rebuilding $50 + Parts with above revalve service / $100 + Parts (rebuild only)
This is a separate service from the above. Rebuilding involves replacing leaking seals, worn out bushings and repairing damaged tubes.

Suspension Setup Tips

Static Sag
(The amount the rear of the bike drops on its own weight) should be between .75" - 1.5"

Rider Sag
With the above in that range, the rider sag should be 4" + or - .5"

Fastening
Make sure not to get the right fork in a bind where it clamps to the axle. It will cause the forks to not work smoothly.

Air
Release built-up pressure in the forks after every ride.

Maintenance
Shock oil should be changed by Dicks Racing every 25 hours
