    Couple aerospace tips for the MotoXperts shop, switch out all their steel picks, punches, and pry bars with brass and/or composite. Induction heaters are preferred than torches for heating stuff up where applicable. Finally, soft jaws are a great start, but flat ones can still crush tubing out of round when hammering on stuff. Teflon or phenolic jaws with cutouts on a pivoting vice are much less likely to dent casings. Keep up the excellent work!

    Glad to see there’s great suspension shops out there. There are hacks out there but these guys do it right and they’re not afraid to show it.

    Dude! Thank you! This series has put out some incredible information. And some AWESOME eye candy. I had to sell my bike because life happens. But Im on ksl daily waiting for the right bike! The market is just nuts right now! I hope people can see how valuable your contributions are. And just how much time money and effort goes into this.

      Thank you for the feedback my dude! It makes me super happy to know you and others are finding value from the videos, that is the goal. I learned so much myself it was insane. I try to share with others what I would want to know. But good luck on the new bike search! The prices right now are crazyy but keep searching KSL on the daily and something should come along for sure in your price range, especially with the season just starting.

    Great video! I could watch videos like these all day long LOL
    I’m getting ready to tear apart an RM 125, I just may have to send the suspension out to the Moto experts. Look forward to the next video.

      Thanks Jerry! It's so fascinating to watch and learn for these videos, especially from a true professional. Some much insight you gain. Good luck on the RM125 tear down, I may have to do one in the future as well ;). But let Camaron know you saw this video and spoke with me when you talk to them about your suspension. They are really cool dudes, if they can make it work, that's awesome! Thanks for watching. Keep me posted on your build too!

    Great video. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 01 Yamaha yz426f and was just going to rebuild the suspension myself as I don't want to spend 1-2g's more on a 20 year old bike but now I'm contemplating sending it out. Curious as to how much a basic rebuild with gold valves would cost.

      Right on! Especially with something that old, it's hard to know what to look for that might be damaged that us average folk don't know about lol. Hit up The MotoXperts and let them know I sent you for a free quote! Doesn't hurt to find out

    Don’t believe the hype ! Put proper springs on, set the sag, grease the needle bearings and learn your clickers. You DONT need your suspension done. Don’t believe them.
