    Back again after two years on GASGAS. I always buy my bikes new, until now. Recently bought one of my 310s back from a friend. Its a 2014 TE. Even though I have had three 310s, I never got friendly with the suspension. I have tried at least 15 different setups. That was the main reason I left for GG. The GG felt smooth right from the box. Still I left everything to RG3 after a half season. Costed me a bunch of money, but hey........ it was worth every penny.

    When I decided to go back to 4stroke, I had no reason to look at Orange, new Huskys, Beta etc...

    What I do want though is this time a suspension that make me trust the bike 100%. Unfortunately I cannot say that I did with my former years on my X-lite bikes. Why I came back is because I know them at least as good as I know my wife and kids. And...... I love how they handle. Have tried all 250 4stroke enduros from 18/19. They are all good but not better, so why spend $10 000 on something I an get for almost nothing? Do anyone have a setup from RG3 or other suspension gurus at the same level. Im not interested in selfmade stacks. Been there done that. Meo won the world title two times with theese bikes and Im pretty sure he didnt do it on the standard setup. If so he should be given the Nobel price for whatever :applause:.

    Forgot to say that I have copied the GG RG3 setup. I will start next season with that. All bikes are different though so I prefer stacks made for the Husky from scratch if there is any available?

    Ok that fork can be relly good whit just
    Changing the stacks a little
    And you can try RT pistons and stacks
    Dont cost mutch and you get alot off stacks

    I haved rt midvalve piston kit in mine
    And rg3 smart valve in the base relly good

    But if you just idjust the flout in mid comp
    To 0.35-0.40 it will be good for enduro

    I know they are made for a 2-stroke. As I said in the begining. I have had three x-lite 310s and have more than 400 hours on them. I have struggled with the suspension on them all. The 2011 with open cartridge is still by far the one I had the best suspension on. I dont mean that KYB is worse. They are better but I got the Sachs to work better. This time I will not give up before Im riding on clouds . The GG RG3 stacks is just a shortcut to something I hope will be better than it is. Thats why I asked you guys and girls if there are any solutions available?

    Dave from TBT in Washington does AMAZING work... on every type of bike I have ridden he has done. I've used a lot of different services over the years and keep coming back to Dave (BTW he also works at JD Jetting). His suspension is always very supple without being sloppy and is very stable. I've ridden probably over 10 bikes he has done of all flavors and he just seems to nail it. Olympia, WA - (360) 863-3528
