Hello so i was looking for some advice and suspension knowledge. I just picked up a 2020 fc250 about 2 months ago but I have been riding mx tracks for almost 2 years in Texas. Ranging from Ty Master pools place to village creek and swan mx and have done about 5 races at swan mx and I want more out of my suspension now that i am in the racing scene more and wanting to get more serious and comfortable on the bike. In not knowledgeable about suspension and want to learn more about it. I do mess with my clickers and air pressure but not exactly the best way to adjust them when I dont like how it feels, i also dont know how to set sag on my own. I've been in contact with Craig over at Enzo Suspension about getting some work done and he rerecorded a re valve and a spring conversion along with replacements of damaged parts for $1500 and at my age making $9 an hour i want to get the best bang for my buck!!! Im still in the beginner class but i have a decent pace and would consider myself a pretty fast beginner rider. But as i have been getting faster my suspension has just gotten worse and i am not sure what to do. I am 185 pounds and stay the same most of the time between 180-190. What would you guys recommend, would appreciate any help.
Get your suspension serviced by a reputable local tuner so you know it's all fresh and working correctly.
Make friends with someone at the track who can watch you ride and help you set your clickers.
There is a TON of adjustability with those air forks....if I were a Beginner level rider on a budget no way in hell would I shell out the money for a spring conversion from ENZO before I was damn sure I was getting the most out of the stock stuff.
For what it's worth, I know someone who qualified for 3 Nationals last year and scored points in the 450 class on bone stock KTM forks. You can make them work with a little time and tuning.
YMMV
