Nothing but good things. Make that great things to say about MX-Tech suspension.

I have used FC and race tech on different bikes both did good work, But then I tried mx-tech on my ktms and I am sticking with them. Great work, and there honest and wont over charge you.

thanks for your input...
we ride YAMAHA (YZ125, YZ250) so Kayaba set-up.
what about the shipping detail? seems kinda risky boxing up your forks and entrusting in the shipping companies. Any advice on this?
Pehaps its better to find a local tuner ? ...though might sacrifice expertise.

MX-Tech will send you a shipping box on request. Works great.

I've used WER (for off-road suspension) and race tech for shock coating (hard anodized body and re-build). I was very happy with the service from both. I used a shot-gun box to send my forks in and insured it for $1k, worked like a charm

What is a good price for local service? A couple of guys I ride with need re-seal jobs. Should we have them done or do them ourselves? We are pretty mechanically sound, just never messed with forks.....any help will be great. thanks

Putting in new seals is a piece of cake.

I've only ever had one set of forks revalved, and it was by MX-Tech.
Everything was on time, and the rep. called me and asked me about my riding style/weight etc. before he did the forks.
As everyone knows that has ridden one, the stock forks on the 02 YZ250 are EXTREMELY harsh over sharp edged hits of any kind. I was very disapointed with the stock forks in any sort of rough conditions. After the revalving the forks feel MUCH better than I could every hope for them to be with the stock valving. Although it still isn't the PERFECT suspension (the showas feel better to me still), it is very good and I feel very comfortable on the bike. I never feel like the bike is going to do anything unpredictable.
I didn't have the shock revalved because I didn't think that it needed it.
