"Hi Folks, I enquired about your services some time ago and am now at a stage where time permits me to remove the shock from my bike. I've had the bike since new and have covered >80,000 k's without touching the rear shock. Ride is harsh and not at all compliant, regardless of what I do to the tyre pressures. Could you please give me some idea of what might be required - I think last time you mentioned the possibility of needing a new spring amongst other things. Also the bike has pre-load and re-bound capability - would these still be operative after a re-build? Thanks."

We would recommend our 40mm shock piston kit to remove all the problems with your standard shock. This would involve revalving both compression and rebound, regas , reoil and if needed, a new spring. The motorcycle will then resist squat and have a plush compliant feel and be able to drive out of corners more confidently. The front however, requires similar sort of work to give the bike a balanced feel. We would also recommend our provalve damping kit, new spring, which will give the front fantastic dive control a confident feel and stability that will match the rear.
