TE/TC 2015 4CS - anyone used Race Tech for work?

I read through all of Terry's posts as well, but clearly I missed where he leaves the forks closed vs the standard RT open conversion.

Very interested in what you find / determine and think of the RT mods.

I should be getting my race tech gold valves and compression bases tomorrow and i am not sure with wich way to go terrys route or open chamber route. Has anyone tried them both? If so what where the differences?

One of the people here on a FE350 did the RT gold valve way first, which improved things, and then got told about Terry's way. He still has the gold valves but went back to closed cartridge as recommended by Terry and he recons Terry's system is better again. He told me the overall feeling is better and damping more consistent, smoother and no bottoming out neither.
I'm going with Terry's system on my FE501.

Just revalved with RT components and went riding today. The settings are WAY off. Fork was better stock. I do not recommend converting to open chamber. I think part of the issue is that their rider ability spec is too broad. It is supposed to cover dirt intermediate/ expert/ a class with their setting. There is a lot of difference between A class and intermediate........ Anyhow the fork sucks big time and I feel like it belongs on an old XR. It is way too active, poor in the corners, divey, harsh, bottoms too easily, and uses too much of the stroke. It is way off on comp, mid, and rebound. I was chasing settings all day and couldn't even get it close. Inconsistent too. It may be made to work for me but I will have to go up the DVS valving chart a bit to make that happen. Going to convert back to a closed chamber with Terry's settings- or maybe even stock. At least with stock it got better the harder I charged, instead of worse. A couple of 'oh crap' moments a ride are better than 'oh crap' all day long. Pretty disappointed. I had way more control with the stock fork in our conditions- even with its shortcomings. A class rider here. Just thankful my constant prayers kept me alive yesterday......

I could keep going, doing R&D with the OC mod, but, nah.....

That's not good Hoov; feel your pain. Look forward to hearing how the Terry set up feels for you. I'm almost positive it's the rout I'm going and I'm far from an a level rider. Good luck. Still say KTM/Husky owes us a 1K rebate for these forks !

How long until you do yours John?

KTM pisses me off. how they can ruin an otherwise decent bike with crappy suspension, year after year, is beyond me. This is why I went to YZ250's in the past- I can make the suspension work on them. Middle finger to you KTM/ Husky...

Kramer hated it equally. I can see why, after riding his bike. Felt like our perfectly revalved Zokes....

Hoov, can you post up the RT stacks you used? interested to see how they differ to Terry's stacks

I'm so busy with work and one of my grandkids baseball I haven't even had a chance to make phone calls bowser but I'm gonna.

Bowser,

Here you go- Settings are RL1003, RLX1011, RH143, ML1002, MLX1011, MH142, MVP30, SE30, cl1035, ch159, float .60mm, 1.3mm bleed drilled, .44 springs.

Remember, Terry's settings are based on a closed chamber fork. RT settings are for OC.

Sounds like you just need to go up the chart some..... I always had decent luck with the RT stuff.... Interested in unloading the RT stuff?

You are likely right about going up the chart. I have had GREAT success with RT on my 45 Zokes. I am going back to CC though so if you want my RT compression valves and the RT mid valves I will make you a deal on them. PM me.
