FRONT SUSPENSION-"MOTOP" DIRTBIKE

Dirt bike forks are the first course of attack for setting up and tuning your dirt bike suspension. Starting with the front tire, make sure it's in good condition and inflated to an appropriate level. We recommend inflating your tire to 11–13 psi for motocross riding and 13–14 psi or more for off-road riding to prevent flats.

While you're down there, make sure your front wheel is installed correctly. Your wheel should sit squarely within the fork legs. If it's not, begin by loosening the axle and pinch bolts on both sides of the fork, then tightening your axle nut, then torquing the left-side axle pinch bolts to spec. Compress the right fork to set the leg and tighten the right pinch bolts when you are sure the fork leg is not binding and in its natural position.

Getting to the forks themselves, you'll need to adjust your rebound and compression damping according to your riding needs. The first step you need to make before tuning your dirt bike suspension is checking your owner's manual. The manufacturer will break down your suggested factory suspension setup, and it will inform you on how to adjust your fork.

When you adjust your fork, you can either raise or lower it in the triple clamps, changing the geometry of the dirt bike, or you can dial in your rebound and compression settings on the screws or clickers located on your fork.

Compression refers to how much your fork wants to compress. Less compression damping makes for a softer ride, but if it's set too soft, then the dirt bike will pitch under braking and bottom out when riding. Rebound refers to how much your fork wants to spring back to its original shape. Not enough rebound damping will yield a softer ride, but the bike will bounce around, leading to front end uneasiness and your cornering ability will suffer. You want to find a balance between these two settings—one that you are comfortable riding with.
