So, I am just not totally happy with the XR's standard front suspension..........  :p It has plenty of travel and I have yet to bottom it out, but is just never feels "planted"! I am not sure if this is due to a setup problem maybe ??? The fronet tends to feel loose and mostly on the verge of a wash.

What I do have is a spare late nineties KX250 USD front end and was wondering if this would make a decent and worthwhile upgrade, or if I should have someone set up the front suspension properly for me? I would prefer to keep the standard forks if possible, but also feel I would really enjoy rides more with a decent front end setup  :thumleft: Must say I never have felt this problem on my KX or previous KTM300.

Advice/opinion would be appreciated thanks dogs  ;D
