Suspension Servicing: What We Do For You
Over time the structure of the oil in dampers and forks breaks down. Used oil affects the performance of the valves resulting in poor damping and lubrication. Also, seals wear over time and become weak or damaged allowing oil contamination, leakage or reduced gas pressure.
A typical service will include;
- Disassembly and inspection
- New sliding bushes and seals
- Part replacement where necessary
- Reassembly with the best quality fluids
- Nitrogen charging
- Dyno testing
We can also revise your suspension to the latest specification if Öhlins have released an update.
Plus, we use our dyno to check the rate of your springs if needed.
Suspension Set Up
We offer a "Ride In, Ride Out" motorcycle suspension set-up service to get the very best suspension performance from your bike.
- All current settings are recorded. We then make any revisions we feel sensible to optimise damping set up.
- Rider sag setting. We measure the bike at ‘droop’, then check with rider on the bike and adjust preload to optimise ride height in the shock/ forks travel.
- Ride and verify. If possible, we encourage you to then ride and feel the improvements and we welcome any feedback you may have.
