Thanks to Eric at Pro-Action in Beaver Falls Pa. Just went with the KYB spring conversion and shock bladder on my 2022 GasGas ex250f, had them revalve for a 50/50 woods/moto set up and HOLY SHIT did he nail it! I’m 43 and race in the woods but still like to hit a moto practice track for fun on Saturday. Complete game changer for this bike. I think there’s a lot of guys around my age that do similar riding and I’d highly recommend this exact set up.
I really think I have to pull the trigger and do this already myself.
have been fighting and fighting to get the stock set up there.
its great when the tracks not destroyed, but when it gets disgustingly rough I’m struggling with confidence thru consecutive bumps.
cornering and big hits is completely fine, But lots of consecutive small and big bumps, it gets wonky.
That's awesome! I am in this very boat myself, racing offroad but practice mx. I'm curious about the approach the tuner took to achieve a setting that works well for both. My understanding is whatever compromise is made will result in suspension that is only "ok" for both disciplines. I maybe completely wrong, but I've been trying to decide go with a mx setting and just soften for woods or woods and stiffen for track.
I’m not sure what he did for valving/ stacks etc… Eric said he knew exactly what I wanted and he 100% did! I kind of struggled with really soft suspension in the woods anyways. The HS tracks are really getting beat up nowadays with big 4 strokes and quads racing on Saturday. So a lot of guys I know are getting away from the super soft woods suspension. I haven’t raced with it yet, but I’m planning on not even adjusting it to the softest setting. All I can say is I was real close to selling the bike because of the fork and now I can’t ride it enough. It’s changed everything for me!

Don’t know Bart but he sounds great. This was done by Eric in Beaver Falls Pa. Pro-Action world headquarters.
What did they charge?
Well well well…. Seems like a good time for a bump, now that KTM and sexton caught on to what I was trying to tell everyone 😂
Pro-Action valving felt like a bag of d1cks. Wasn't plush and felt like stock.
Find a better suspension tech that can accommodate your riding/ability. Working great so far for me.
