Has anyone had any good results with these? They are on the bike I just bought. I resprung them for my weight and still were too soft. Added oil. Still too soft. I'm probably going to just buy some KYBs but I wanted to see what could be done temporarily.

I would try to track down the race team through your dealer.

What year? They are a soft fork. There are some shops and tuners in the US that can make them better. The 2020 and 21’s are better but they are no KYB.

I work at a beta dealer/racetech center..
The RaceTech kit will convert it back to rebound on top/compression on bottom so you won’t blow through the stroke as easily
Also have a set of used Marzochi forks we can sell.

I just dont want to dump any money and them not be good enough. These aren't as bad as the 4cs ihad in 16 which I still have nightmares about. I cant get the first initial part of the stroke to hold up. They dont bottom but it's not what Iam used to. I guess my real question is are they worth keeping or just swapping?

I revalved a set for a guy a few years ago. Nothing special about them. The factory must have been low on shims that day. I side had just a few shims and the other was close to normal. The 7mm ID is the issue with the Sachs forks. They might have gone to 8mm now.

But at that price wouldnt it be worth just ordering the kyb through Beta for $1300?
$1300 for new KYB’s is great 👍. The Lucky’s are about performance whereas a fork swap is more about durability. Both can benefit from a revalve or DIY drop ins.
