Track as in MX track?

I have done a few MX trainings with my 2015 EC200, the latest one yesterday. I am a less than average MX rider, I don't even jump the small table tops

What I do to "convert" it for mx:

Forks:
- I turn the PFP adjusters 5-6 turns in. This may seem much, please be aware that I have softer PFP springs than normal. Under normal circumstances, I run the PFP adjusters all the way out.
- I add compression damping. Go from 15-18 clicks (enduro) to 1-3 for MX.

Rear Reiger:
I have a reiger B46, a very fancy shock. At my speed, I don't change any clicks. With your standard Reiger, I would turn the compression damping quite a few clicks in. You just have to try to find the best solution.

I do nothing to the engine or jetting. I you would like a more "MX feeling", you could of course adjust the power valve for a bigger hit.

I also replace the rear wheel with a 19" with a Gibson sand tyre, because the local track is a sand track. A half worn Michelin Enduro Medium proved to be of little use there I had a 19" rear wheel laying around, so I figured I could use that for something useful.
