side fork seal housed within the
outer chamber (which holds the
least amount of air), should the
fork seal fail for whatever reason
during a moto, it won't effect ei-
ther the inner chamber (which
holds more than 60 percent of
the total force) or the sub cham-
ber, which means you won't have
to pull off the track. In fact, you
probably won't even notice it.
The bottom line? From what
we can tell so far, the fork is im-
pressive, not only for its mega
adjustability but for its perfor-
mance on the track. After plenty
of fiddling, we found the ideal
setting for the Milestone Race-
way track that kept our test rid-
ers very happy, and we felt that
we only scratched the surface
when it came to its adjustability
potential. Unfortunately, this fork
is very complex and could easily
lead you in the wrong direction if
you're not careful when it comes
to set up. We recommend that
you really study the KX's own-
er's manual and make one small
change at a time.
