ttx forks

[cladoo]

Which ttx forks are on my 2010 Nambo 992's or 1082's ?

 

[Jakobi]

FGGG 1182 - 2010/2011 EC250/300 (Suspect 45mm Marzocchi)
FGGG 1282 - 2012 EC250/300 (48mm Marzocchi)
FGGG 1283 - 2009 to 2012 EC250/300 (48mm Sachs)
FGGG 992 - 2009 EC300

Info from HardRacing.com

2010 Nambo I believed used the Sachs outers so I'd be aiming at 1283

 

[cladoo]

They are Sachs. So 1283's. Now I need to find the setup/install manuals. Thanks

Fggg1182 are Sachs 10-11, they are superseded. The 1283 are the new Sachs models that jakobi got.

Your nambo will have 1182

Edit, they could be 1082, it seems to be a year thing.

 

[Jakobi]

So you got the 1182 Simmo?

For the 1282 I can tell you set up info is as follows..

Rebound damping 15 clicks
Compression damping 15 clicks
Spring preload 2mm
Fluid volume 280mm

Spring preload change -2 to 8mm (adjusted by adding/removing washers)
Fuid volume range 250mm - 350mm

What mods are needed to run the TTX cartridges that fit in a KTM in the Sachs forks or can the TTX be modified to work?

 

[Jakobi]

If the forks were the same length then you might just maybe get away with buying the sachs base plug. You'd need to pull everything apart and lay it all on a table to know for sure. The TTX in itself is quite a simple installation.

Just out of curiosity what was the price tag on the TTX

 

[Jakobi]

Hard racing can do them for $1059 I think. Thats just inserts. Then you're up another $100 for springs and a few bucks for oil. I think Coppersmiths asks $1200 plus springs, but they list them as Tuned so they may or may not revalve based on what you discuss with them.

Price is about $1000 US

I just installed mine.. Now I need to get that engine back together so I can test it!

Interested to know your findings Jakobi!! I can't get my sachs to work no matter what I do so may venture down the ttx road myself.

Yep, and they have exactly he same settings as what you wrote.

Igot mine to work with a racetech gold valve and a bladder conversion. Night and day.

Edit. Woops, I meant the shock. The ttx are great.

Simmo I have also had my shock (888 Ohlins) re gassed twice now and think it needs doing again. Was told a new shock or bladder conversion was the long term fix.

Might just bite the bullet and get ttx both front and rear.

The bladder kit for the sachs is only 60 bucks, I'm not sure if you need a new reservoir with the ohlins, even then it's only another 60, that's assuming it's the. Res piston that's the problem.


If its the shock seal even cheaper or sealhead assy it would probably be getting pricey, still not ttx pricey though.

Naa get the ttx!

 

[Jakobi]

I might get a TTX shock next year if I decide to keep her for another round

So are the TTX fork inserts available for the 45mm Marzocchis? And also do you need special springs for the TTXs or can you use the stock springs if they fall within your weight parameters?

Alan,
No TTX for the 45s. Only for the 48mm forks. The TTX require Ohlins fork springs. I have a set out of my 08 200XC K*M that I am wanting to try on my 125, but that would require a fork change....
