I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with precision concepts suspension on a yz450f. It’s really hard to find adequate reviews for their work on kyb or Yamaha. I was leaning towards Enzo, but their turn around time is over a month out right now. I’ve heard pretty good things about precision. Just not much for the Yamahas other than purvines race team. Any real world honest info would be much appreciated.

Enzo - they are KYB specialists. Have you called Enzo in Texas to see if they can turn your suspension quicker? Craig Decker does amazing work.

I've tried Precision Concepts several times. I just never could quite get there with their settings. It was the same for my neighbor, so we both eventually gave up. I will say, however, one of the best shocks I've ever ridden was by Precision Concepts. I still have that shock because it was so good (Showa on old CRF450R) .

I’ve had there stuff in the past .  It was good.  I use AHM and they are awesome to work with. Unfortunately, this time of year you are going to run into extended turn around times for anyone that is good, it’s a busy time of year.

No I haven’t checked with him.
 

That’s a bummer to hear. I had a similar experience with factory connection. I’ve tried a couple kawi’s with precision’s settings and there felt pretty good just kind of soft. I think I just need to be patient, because I’m pretty confident that Enzo will be good from past experiences. 
 

thanks for the info I appreciate it.

I’ve used ahm in the past it was ok after a couple redo’s

Yeah they seemed pretty overwhelmed. The guy on the phone was nice but seemed pretty disappointed when I asked the turn around. 
 

I think I’ll just stick with the stock valving for now it’s not terrible. And then try again in a month. 
 

thanks👍

I've also tried Factory Connection. Same results as you. They even sent me another customer's stuff once in addition to valving my B-kit setup for someone 50 pounds lighter than me. I was done.

I don't use them anymore either.

I’d wait for Enzo! I had my stuff done by them this past summer and it came back great! I haven’t had a Yamaha since the 1st yz400 and always wanted Enzo but couldn’t afford it then. Now I know what I was missing.

Thanks for the response. I had a yz250f with Enzo suspension and it was really good. So, I know they’ll do a good job. I guess it’s better to wait a month rather than send suspension back and forth a bunch of times to dial in settings. 

i ended up shipping it to Enzo. It’s gonna seem like a long month.

I've had some great setups and some not quite right with FC also. I have found for whatever reason when I send it to the main office in NH, I have received some really good setups as with my current Honda. I know it is supposed to be the same, but it hasn't been like that for me.
