I had my 00 K5 revalved and sprung for my weight.
I had it done by Richard at houseofhorsepower.com
If you are serious about going fast over the rough stuff it is a must.

I have "just" installed gold valves before... it helps, but not as good as getting stuff set up for YOU...

All my stuff.. gets done by Precision Concepts. (I have a buddy here)... and they work VERY CLOSE with us local desert racers, so they know the terrain VERY well....

(They also were willing to make my kx450, kx500 suspension swap play nice)


What precision concepts does with the stock internals, works miles better than when I was just running a gold valve...

Find a reputable suspension shop, preferably close to you that is willing to listen to how you want it set up.  Fine tuned suspension is key to having a great bike.
