kx500 Suggestions Mods needed (rear caliper contacting silencer)

(1/3) > >>

Doubleday77:
I'm looking for some mod suggestions in regards to the rear caliber on my kx5 coming in contact with my silencer. It's dented the silencer pretty good and wearing down the top of the caliper. Sub frame not  caring for it either. The suspension is sprung to my weight and valved.  Thanks

alward25:
did u set your sag? what are your comp/rebound settings?

Doubleday77:
Suspension tech (six12 race tech) comes out weekly to the track to make adjustments as needed.  I have the k5 shock settled in rite where I want it, sag is good.  If anything we have it riding a little high in the rear. I'm running a fmf power core but even the stock silencer was making contact.  Maybe pro circuit is a little less bulky? IDK

reklessj:
Is your subframe straight, cuz I've got tire rubs all over the inside my fenders but never once dented my silencer

Brute:
Something is amiss. Find the problem before you start modifying. There should not be contact. Loose, bent, twisted, incorrect or worn parts. Something is going on.
