Suspension servicing is one of the most under rated "services" on a motorcycle and one that riders neglect - You will all give the engine fresh oil and filter, flush the brake fluid... but not many people think about the front forks or rear shock.

Some Racers will service their forks after every round, some every six months. For the "average Joe" using the machine frequently on track we recommend Yearly services of the Front and Rear. If the bike is being used most weekends Racing or Trackdays we recommend every six months.

For Road riders the suggestion is every two years. Too soon I hear you day? Have a look at a video further down of a "new" bike shock..... you be shocked as what you see!

Suspension servicing is one of the most under rated services a rider considers being done.

A front fork service covers a full strip and clean. The Guide bushes and dust seals are inspected for wear, the stantions are checked for wear and run out, the compression and rebound valves are stripped and cleaned and all shim stacks dismantled and cleaned (where applicable). The forks are then rebuilt using OE quality NOK oil seals. If any wear is evident, we report to you before under taking any additional work so you do not have any suprises.

Front Fork Service (OHLINS) £142 inc VAT

As above but we refill with Ohlins 1309 Oil in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation.

Rear Shock Service £135 inc VAT

Our rear shock service is similar to that of our fork service. It covers a full strip, Clean and Inspection of all parts. Rebuilt using high quality seals and Ohlins Oil.

We can service most makes of Shock – Please contact us for details.

Servicing your OE fitment shock can real huge benefits as the OE Oil is poor quality and over time can become aerated and create substantial cavitation – which creates poor damping. Most OE shock Oil, when drained, is almost like foam!
