Hey everyone, just looking for some ideas on what to do with my suspension on A 2013 YZ250F. I've been wanting to upgrade my suspension for a while and can't seem to find out whats the best bang for the buck! Any suggestions on things like springs, rebuilds, revalving. I live in Canada so if anyone knows any places in the country for suspension it would help a ton! Thanks!
I would do springs for your weight, a revalve for your speed and riding type (mx ax offroad etc) and replace any wear parts that need it. odds are it would just be seals and bushings.
I am riding for him this year as well, With referral hes running a promotion right now you get 10% off his work. I was close enough Togo see him in person and hes awesome to deal with. I wont use anyone else anymore.
The Shop
A revalve will be better, but how much depends on how good or bad the bike is stock. Depending on your weight, your bike isn't terribly valved for some middle of the road riders stock. The main thing you'd be looking at is personalizing valving setup for you. If you're on a budget, I'd go with springs first and ride it. If you still desire more performance, then look into a revalve.
Finally, if you do go for a revalve it is important to know that not all revalve are created equally. Each tuner will have different setups, theories, parts, processes, etc. Do your research ahead of time!
Hopefully that helps a bit. Feel free to contact me at chris@racetech.com if you have any other questions or want a quote on some parts or service. Also, if you need help selecting spring rates, there is a free online spring rate calculator at racetech.com, and if you decide to order anything I'd love for you to choose Race Tech. Be sure to mention VitalMX when ordering to get the Vital discount.
I do have a Race Tech Center up in Canada. Shipping might be required for you, which isn't too difficult. You could ship to him or down to us in the US. Here is an easy guide on shipping your suspension if you decide to go that route.
