Damper Maintenance & Servicing

Just like most race car/bike parts, a damper's internals are a consumable item and need to be maintained at regular intervals to maximise its performance.  Although we use the best quality oil available to minimise the effects of wear, it still degrades with increased usage, so regular oil changes are required. The oil seals and O-rings too are of the highest quality but should be replaced with the oil along with the main piston shims, which also lose performance with fatigue and wear. 

Components fatigue and ware especially in high stress motorsport applications. To ensure your suspension keep its highest level of performance, fresh oil, seals and shim all part of our services is required.

Damper Re-valve £75.00 excl. VAT per damper

Damper re-valve enables performance to be maximized for your application, it is the necessary progression of performance, vehicle development, weight reduction, set up or even a changing track are factors that could require your suspension to be re-valved. Driver/Riders style and preferences is an additional factor especially in changing vehicle. Key advantage of a re-valve is they tuning the damper using the dyno to result in the optimum damper for your speciation. 

  • Valving development time
  • Dyno checks
  • New Shims 
  • Performance graphs printouts 

Matching a Pair of Dampers £64.00 excl. VAT

Unforeseen circumstances could lead you to have a mismatch pair of dampers or you require a second set for spares during the race weekend. This is an assured way to match performance between dampers.
