Edipo76;

Setting up motorcycle suspension properly (setting SAG) is somewhat detailed but it can make a big difference in performance. If the procedure is followed properly it will also cover variables such as your weight verses the stock spring rates, etc. This is true of any motorcycle including your FX. I’ll post a link to an authoritative set of instructions. I would strongly recommend doing this before listening to the many people who will try and tell you the stock suspension isn’t up to the task. Most of todays motorcycles can easily outperform their riders. Follow this procedure to get your own proper settings and you should do fine:   https://racetech.com/articles/SuspensionAndSprings.htm
If you actually enter any events please let us know how it goes.

I don't want to hijack this great thread but these comments were of interest:
Bergercurtis   â€œLicensed Zero Dealer in Colorado Springs”  Pikes Peak Motorsports? This would be 120 miles closer to my location (still 130 miles away).
Calidave   â€œAn FYI for those who may be considering a multisport, got an email from Zero that the 2020 DS reveal should be happening mid-September.”
I've signed up for Zero's newsletter but have yet to hear anything about the 2020 DS/FX models. I will definitely be watching. Thanks for the Information.

Thanks for posting that video stargazerinwg. The comparison to a state-of-the-art dedicated dirt bike like your KTM is also appreciated. In 50 years of riding I’ve owned sport bikes, motocross bikes, trials bikes, etc.. Now my interest lies exclusively with dual sport machines. Living in a rural environment, I have no interest in a motorcycle that does not have at least some off-road capability. I also have no desire to go back to maintaining a stable of 8 motorcycles. As someone who appreciates Zero’s off-road roots and has been monitoring the development of the DS / DSR and FX over the last three years this type of review is very meaningful. This on-line community has also offered valuable insights. When you look at the very narrow range of motorcycles being offered by the remaining EV MC manufactures still in the market, I think Zero deserves credit for staying in the dual sport market and continuing to develop those offerings. My “Wish List” for those models is actually quite modest, so hopefully I may be able to join you soon. Great video.
