Hi, this is my first post.
I am new to dirt bikes having only had a KLR650 and a CRF230F, both with full suspension upgrades, but have been riding motorbikes since 1994.
I just bought a 2019 Beta 500RR-S with the gen4 Sachs fork. I took the bike out to the desert and was disappointed with the forks in the slow speed rocky washes and climbs. The front end was upset really easily.
I tried to set the sag and dial in the damping but I am not noticing any response from the fork. I am capable of setting up the dampening and sag on my other bikes so i dont think it is all me, but it could be, I am very far from an expert.
In any case I did expect that I could set the dampening soft for slow trails and firm for the track and notice the changes. Or that I could change the sag with the preload adjuster.
Am I mistaken ?
