Does anyone have any recommendations for getting KTM suspension work done? I have a 2013 KTM 250 sx and the bike is beating the crap out of me and does not feel good on rough tracks. On my KX i have Pro-action which i absolutely love, but am not sure if that is the right place to go with the WP suspension. Thanks

Hasn't RG3 been doing a bunch of KTM stuff these days? Everything they have done for me has been great on my RM and CRF.

Active Ride can tune it or customize to KYB internals, he's done Renner's bikes like this.

MXA gave the MX-Tech guy some high ratings for his suspension work. He used to post here and on Motonews and had some trick bits for the orange bikes.

Does it vibrate like a mofo when the revs are really high? I have a 250SX with the 300SXS kit, and it vibrates enough to cause to dental problems.

Had mine done by Factory Connection. Customer service was spot on, as promised turn around time, and great work. I highly recommend them.

Thanks, for all the recommendation guys. And fish. Yes it does, but only when idling and revving. It doesn't do it when underload in race conditions.

So who did you go with?

I have contacted my local guy, mx tech, factory connection and race tech. Everyone has a different pile of parts to sell and different all the way around.

I ended up going with my local guy, T7 Suspension (Blake). He has a bunch of riders on the WP suspension and its really on point. As a plus he's a great guy to deal with!

You can eliminate the vibration by getting the KTM rubberized bar mounts. They're about $200 retail, but work awesome. They're right out of the KTM Hard Parts catalog. Part number SXS07125200. I know the shop I work for has them in stock and we sell quite a few.

Yeah, those 300's vibrate really bad. You should definitely take it off..... And I'll try it on my bike and see if it vibrates still. I should only need a few years to throughly test it.

I'm with Rocketsocks. I have a 300SXS on my 13 250SX & it doesn't vibrate that much at all. I've had some bad ones so I can relate but this bike definitely isn't one of them.
