Does everybody has a good setup for each bike for each track? As well for indoor (Hard surface/ Soft surface) as for outdoor (Hs/Ss).

I installed many of my bikes for best conditions in each track, but is it good to win and drive a fast lap?

3, 2, 1, : SHOWTIME!

outdoors-soft suspension, more top speed than acceleration, sticky tires.
indoors-hard suspension, slightly more acceleration that top speends, sticky tires

i find that works good for me :)
i havent lost many races online, so i think i got it dialed

I honestly don't find there's that much of a difference. It does seem like there's a slight advantage to be gained by changing set up for different tracks but the truth is, if you're not a good rider, set up won't change that. Once you have all the fast lines sorted, You'll be able to take the same lines with any set up. That's what i've found. Just ride smooth and keep your speed up and it's fine either way. If you're really unsure of what set up to go with, just set everything up even in the middle

Where's the fun in keepin it upright??

I use the same setup on my dirtbike for both supercross and nationals. I have many first place wins online, so it seems to work.
I also use the same setup on my quad (ATV) for both supercross and nationals. I have won countless times. And have even been accused of cheating for such good laptimes every race.
But when it comes down to it, It's about you're skill and the lines you choose to take. Practice will make you fast, not the bike setup.

thats true but I have played around it enough to know that bike set up can help you sooooooooo much.

I have been trying diffrent set ups on a 450f, and I felt like that if I ride it on outdoor tracks I want the suspenison to bee as soft as possible, I think I have only two blue bars on hard and the rest on soft. I've been trying my set ups on sandwick (wich I think is the funniest outdoor track). And now im going to adjust my sx bike;D

Peace!
