[QUOTE="terry hay, post: 706725, member: 48273"] As i've said before the PDS system was one of the greatest marketing exercises we've seen in the motorcycle industry. It has advanced KTM into the mainstream of motorcycle manufacturing. I'm not surprised to hear that KTM are now leaving the linkless system behind for more conventional methods. They have achieved a level of credibility akin to that of the Japanese manufacturers and can now set about beating them at their own game. Last time I spoke on the subject of position sensitve damping I managed to raise the ire of one Jeremy Wilkey and my knowledge of the subject was severely questioned. Well, I would just like to say that position sensitive damping does not exsist within the confines of this design, and at best, we can only experience a positional influence from the PDS system. And given the design of the linkage assisted shocks we also experience a positional influence, only over the full travel, and with a nice progressive nature. The PDS system has seen both manufacturers and aftermarket tuners struggling to compensate for the lack of a linkage, falling short all the while. The truly sad thing is that they are getting closer all the time. The simplicity of the linkage system is spectacular when you consider the comlexity of trying to do without it. Now that things are calm Jeremy I'll happily answer any question you have for me regarding my views on the PDS shocks. Regards Terry Hay -- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! [/QUOTE]
