Why not have Enzo do your Honda if you have been happy with their work?

I have FC in my KX450 and it’s been great!

Weege seems to really like RaceTech gold valves. Suspension feels plusher, better bottoming resistance. I'm tempted to buy some for my KXF.

I've had great success with Craig Decker and Enzo on my 2019 KX450 which has Showa suspension.
Craig's personal bike is a 19 KX450.
They also did my 2015 RMZ450.
They're more than just KYB specialist.
Next bike will be a KTM350 and I'll send it to Enzo as well.

I agree that if you have been happy with enzo then keep using them, all though I’m sure you would be just as happy with factory connection. I have had a few Yamahas and a kx125 set up by Craig at enzo and have always been happy with his work.

Message him on Facebook.. what he doesn’t know about suspension isn’t worth knowing. Period!

The best suspension I’ve ever ridden was done by a local and from what I was told ex FC team guy Mike Weisner on my 03 CRF. I’ve regretted selling that bike everytime I get a new bike. Doesn’t really answer any questions here, but I just felt like saying it.

I recently had Enzo revalve my WP Cone valve forks and Trax shock. Originally worked on by FC. I switched because FC said the old forks wouldn’t work on the 2019 and said I should buy an extension kit that WP and Enzo said I didn’t need. So that was the first red flag.

Factory Connection is great and I used them for years but setting for setting my Enzo set up is the best I’ve ridden.

As for who to bring your stuff to, is one shop closer than the other? The advantage of continuing with Enzo is that you have a relationship and they know your past settings to get you closer on the new stuff. I think both with get you something awesome, they have so much data and experience.

Also recommend Graeme Brough. I had him do my 18 crf and it was excellent. Former hrc guy, he is world class. Will not try to upsell you “performance kits” and shit that is not needed. The stock Honda stuff is capable of being outstanding with proper valving/springs alone.

Long time Honda guy here, Rick at TooTech has been doing my bikes for as long as I can remember and he always kills it with my valving. The suspension on the current Honda’s is already so good out of the box but good valving and right spring rate definitely helps. He is much cheaper than FC and Enzo too....

Have had experience with some of the suspension tuners mentioned - Graeme Brough, FC & Enzo. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of those choices.
