Hey guys what's up. I'm going into four strokes after 20 years off the YZ 250 Two Stroke. My last bike was done by Pro-Circuit for intermediate 250 class. I'm going to race 50+ vet, and wanted to ask if either company is equal or one is better, maybe? I know, both are fantastic for certain products. Enzo Racing actually did a bike I bought that was a pro level rider, it was very stiff. I'll have to say; at fast speed, I'd much rather have it stiff then choppy. Anyway, thanks for the tips guys. I've been out of the sport way too long and am excited to be riding again. I just always enjoyed racing, if I'm going to be riding. Now, I just need the suspension & cardio so I can keep up!

Thanks, Matt

RaceTech affordable and amazing at the same time IMO. I have ridden factory connection set ups and mx tech set ups and they are all awesome. My racetech stuff was much more affordable than my buddies factory connection stuff. Really I would think at the 50+ level its all personal preference.

I have ridden some bikes with suspension done by both of those brands. What I felt when I rode them is that pro circuit tends to be a little more on the stiff side, and factory connections tends to be a little on the softer side. That's just my personal opinion.

If you are on a Yamaha, Enzo is the place to go.

I like FC but Enzo works with Yamaha race teams. I'm sure at our level either one will give you what your looking for.

ive had f/c and enzo on my yamis when I road them, with multiple revalves from each company on each set of suspension, enzo is definitely the place to send kyb stuff, and they don't sell you anything you don't need, f/c kinda trys to sell you the catalog, but f/c work is really good aswell. Enzo is just better

FC did my RM's and they worked with me to save a few bucks. Just be honest with whoever you use. They need to really know your weight, and level you are riding at. If you really ride at the average vet speeds, tell them so they don't set it up too stiff. FC's turn around was quick also. And they will email or call you back. No kidding!

That was my assumption also. Factory connection to me was too wallowing feeling. I have SP now.
