Thanks

on you tube you can watch a video of a rider on the ktm going through a whoop section in a split screen and it shows on the one side stock settings and on the other side the suspension dialed in. needless to say the dialed in suspension was much better then the stock setting. the stock setting shows the rider bouncing from side to side. the dialed in side was nice and smooth. the suspension is great though

Definitely much better with the kit! The ride height drops about 3 inches from stock! Had pretty good luck stock, but no a arms and too tall make for a tippy ride.

you are referring to the $300 upgrade kit that you can buy at the dealers right? it lowered it three inches? that is very impressive

Exactly! Except that it must be installed by an Ohlins dealer/repair shop. It is a very involved process that took my shock guy I think around 20 hours for all three. I goy one of the first kits and actualyy had to make a part for it to work. Discussed this with Ohlins after the facts and they actually were pulling some of the first kits and changing that part. I ended up at about $1000.00 all said and done. I would say it was definitely not a cheap option, but well worth it. I will be changing springs again as soon as my A-arms get here and I will keep you posted on how they work +2.
