Thinking of having Enzo re-valve my suspension and DLC my front forks. I had MB-1 do my Hondas since Mike and co. are Showa guys. Since Ross and co. are KYB guys, I figure it's my best choice. Has anyone had their suspension done by Enzo? Maybe give me a review or two please. Also is it worth having my forks coated, I've always wanted top notch stuff and could never afford it before, is it worth me dropping the cash? Thanks

Ok Im just gonna tell you straight up! You won't be disappointed one bit at all. Personally I don't think you need your forks DLC Coated. Call ENZO and talk to Will Decker. He has worked there for 15 years now. He is Craig Deckers dad. Instead of getting the forks coated add the Sub Tanks. I know there is alot of mixed reviews on them but they are unbelielable and you won't have another bike without Sub Tanks once you try them. I deal with Craig Decker here in the Midwest at ENZO of Minnesota, and before I always dealt with Will when I sent it out west. You can't go wrong and if you want something a lil different after you get it back they will make it perfect untill it is exactly the way you want it. Good Luck

You won't regret it, Enzo does amazing work.

Honestly I wouldnt get the Enzo subtanks again.Sure they are quality and I feel that they improve the fork action SLIGHTLY they arent worth the hassle.Ive broken more lines than I can count on them along with fork fittings.And at $20 a line they arent exactly cheap.

Good call on that... I've had another company's sub-tank slip out of position racing an arena cross, lock the wheel straight and send me off a berm.

ENZO won't put them on a Honda because of the steering dampner, they feel its a liability factor with it catching on it. I've never had one problem with lines breaking. How are you gonna break a stainless line? Kinda hard.

Ross and Will over at Enzo will hook you up, theyre very experienced at the highest level of the sport, and with that comes knowing what works and what doesnt. Their mods are guaranteed to work, and they stand behind what they do. Ross and Will have been doing my stuff for close to a decade and I have never had a complaint they always handle everything in a friendly quick professional manner. You will be hard pressed to find anyone any better at what they do. Give them a call.

I know I have them on my Honda.You dont break the stainless line you break it right between the aluminum swivel fitting and the stainless line end.

I love my ENZO suspension on KYB's. Subtanks are a waste of money, but the DLC coating is pretty sweet, especially from a durability standpoint. It wasn't that expensive. Oh yeah their pre load ring is worth its weight in gold too.

If you want the benefits of subtanks without the actual subtanks, look into the TGT handlebar subtank, also marketed by Moose Racing.

I dont mean to hijack the thread, but I had a question about Enzo as well, and didnt want to junk up the page by starting a new thread. I hear rave reviews about their work with Kayaba suspension...which is what Im used to since Ive been on Yamahas. However, I now have a KTM and was wondering how they are with WP suspension setups (motocross). This is my first KTM so Im not sure who is good with WP stuff, since I know its a little different setting these bikes up versus the Big 4.

I had them do my Honda's before I jumped back on Yamaha's. Everything they do is top notch and the best. They do all of Ronnie Renners stuff on his Free Stle bikes and his MX bikes when he does dicide to moto. So Im sure there WP stuff is NZO and ask for Will Decker and he will be straight up front with you.

Didn't care for ENZO on my '98 kx250. Forks were still harsh, shock still blew through way too easy. If you are located near them, they would be fine, you could always tell them to do it again. I had RG3 suspension on a '96 rm250, they had the conventional forks. They were the best forks ever. Would just point front end at any 12" curb bump, practically let go of the bars, and it would almost tickle it took it so good. Upside down forks are only now finally getting as good as 10 yr. old conventionals. Sometimes marketing drives technology instead of superior product doing the driving. (aluminum, and 4-strokes). The best suspension guys actually go to the track with you, watch you ride, then get at it. Sometimes the big guys get it right, sometimes not, best to go with near-by guy.

I have had ENZO on mine since '07, love the stuff, smooth and very dependable. Will has become a good friend, I'd recommend them to anyone.

sub tanks are a waste.....on the older forks 2005 and below maybe... by the time you spend all that coin on bling and coatings you could just buy a set of ohlins ttx.......prolly the best c susp out there and superior to oem kyb's and your thousands dont go bye bye with the bike sale......dont buy into the gadgets.........enzo is great and a standard revalve will be as good as their 2k version..........i dont get why people buy these d-kits and works kits for 2-3k and dump it with the sale of the bike.......i have ridden them and wasnt impressed at all for what they cost......revalve is just as good
