Rear Shock Absorber Servicing

Whether your shock absorber needs a service or you'd like the rear suspension setting up to your own weight and specification. We have a wealth of experience in suspension servicing and setup for road, off-road and race bikes. 

General Servicing

We service all kinds of shock absorbers that you may think are not serviceable including KYB, Showa, Nitron, Ohlins, Beta, K-tech, Hagon, Wilbers, Technoflex, WP, Maxton, BWM electronic shocks, YSS and Bitubo. This can be a significant saving on a new replacement unit.

You can either have it picked up by our courier service, send it to us yourself or you can drop it in if you’re local. When your shock absorber arrives, it will be stripped and inspected. If there is any additional work we will contact you with a price. The service includes:

• Full strip down of shock absorber components.
• Examine parts for damage or wear.
• Inspect and polish piston rod.
• Strip piston and shims, clean and rebuild.
• Replace oil seal and guide bush.
• Inspect dust seal and replace if required.
• Rebuild shock absorber using Motul oil.
• Re-gas with nitrogen and left on test for 24 hours.

Turn around time for a general service is around ten days although during busy times it can be more.
