I remember one of the last updates were a guy from Finnland (I think) wrote about it something like 3 weeks before my bike would update. Like written somewhere above it would make sense to roll it out like that IF there was some kind of feedback from the early bikes - nevertheless since nobody...

So far we have two opinions on the changes (yours and mine) and they are basically the opposite of each other - nobody else on the 1.5.0 that would care to give an impression? I mean, I'm fine if you tell me I just imagined all of that as I like how my bike runs now, but it still puzzles me how...

S-Tech makes good stuff, I use their springs as well: Shock absorber spring 64/66-260, 56 N/mm, 98,00 € The sould ship to MNE, do they? Michael

Basically it would be nice to have a documentation of changes for the firmware, but at the same time it matters most how you personally feel it and not by what your are told it is supposed to feel. On the other hand the power of mind can be strong - may the force be with you :ricky: Michael

No, with "dual" I mean two adjustments (LSC, HSC) on one adjuster body vs the triple (LSC, HSC, LSR) KYB. The WP Traxx or now SuperTrax/Pro shocks double single adjusters are identical in function to the single dual adjusters of the stock WP shock. Confused now ;) Michael

I only got to check out the fork as I decided I like the WP stuff better in terms of working on it so I made the switch. So here is the stock setup of my EX delivered in April, medium suspension (I assume the valving is identical with each of the setups, but I don't know for sure). (14) 30x.11...

EX or MX? Michael

Has there actually been a MX reported with 1.5.0? My EX updated to 1.5.0 right from 1.2.8 so possibly MX is 1.4.x now and EX 1.5.x? Michael

What kind of riding do you do? Michael

Well, the KTM/WP comp adjuster which I assume you have plenty of riding experience with didn't change (except for the valving) way longer than that. The KYB triple HSC adjuster is not all bad, it is actually a true high speed only adjuster while the WP and KYB dual adjusters influence much lower...

Yes, same here but at least they didn't touch the power modes this time. Michael

Well, if you have information that the current KYB triple adjuster is different would you like to share that? Michael

The KYB triple adjuster has been around for some time and actually inspired Jeremy Wilkey (MX-Tech) to make his own version. The dyno doesn't show much because this HSC adjuster is mostly effective at speeds above the capability of the dyno. There are several ways to build HSC adjusters. Here...

Had my first real ride with the 1.5.0 firmware on my EX today and it was way more exciting than anticipated. First the easy part - forward crawl mode is a whole different ballgame now. It will climb until you start spinning the wheel as traction runs out or, which is a bit more delicate, the...

Same here. It took me some time but now I almost automatically do it when having a get off on an incline - not doing it previously cost me 300€ for a new Arkenstone. While you can hold the bike with the throttle in gear, the moment you slip or loose your secure stand throttle control is...
