how do they compare?

how does the suspension used on the ktms compare to the suspension used on the jap bikes?

In my opinion, it's not as good.

Let the debate commence.

For the stock stuff, I agree. Now let's the tech side as why so.....

Dave,

You're right!! you think it's bad now, just wait untill we have to seal up the shop for the winter months..

What I meant to say was "let's hear the tech side of why so"

KTMs have become a passion of ours, especially since we worked the GNCC races and tuned the factory supermoto KTM team. There has been so much debate on the "hows" and "whys" and "must do and must not do" topic on the WP components.

Over the past 4 model years, there has been only minor internal changes other than dropping an external bushing and some shim shuffling.

Take Care, John
