Bike Suspension / Suspension Set-ups

As a motorcyclist you typically travel under extremely wide ranging conditions, from busy city traffic, country lanes, motorways, on circuit etc.  For every situation you should be able to place complete faith in your suspension set up which is the vital link between you and road.

Having the suspension on your bike set-up as best it can be for the type of riding you do is the most important modification anybody can make, if they intend on getting the most from their bike.

A bike that has the suspension set-up correctly will improve the handling of the bike by raising the confidence the rider has, increases traction and grip levels and will ensure you minimise the risk of over-stepping the line which marks the limit when riding fast. Tyre wear will also be minimised and kept constant, and thus last longer. A tyre that shows much distress on the surface is often due a less than optimal suspension setup.

At Shawn Taylor Racing, we offer a number of bespoke packages to tune your bike into your individual preferences.  Take a look at the standard packages offered below:

1.  Setup

We'll take your bike and adjust the geometric settings and suspension to suit your build and riding requirements. Straight away this service gives you additional brake horse power that is otherwise inaccessible or lost to a poor ride, but it also optimises your tyre life and performance.

Customers are invited to spend time 2 to 3 hours at Shawn Taylor Racing to witness the Setup and receive tuition.

All Setup customers leave with a 'Setup Spec. Sheet' detailing the 'before & after' changes that have been made to their componentry and Shawn Taylor Racing stickers.

Setup just £150.00 + VAT

2.  Fork Service

The Fork Service is designed for the customer in need of a quick once-over of their forks and internals. The service includes dismantling the forks to component form, washing, cleaning and inspecting their internals as well as the removing of all traces of sludge build up from the shims (created by oxidised oil). The forks are then rebuilt using superior suspension fluids with new seals and/or bushes where necessary. All fork adjustments are reset to 'as found' customer specification.

The 'Stand Alone' Fork Service caters to the customer that has already removed the forks from the bike and merely presents them to Setup Engineering for an overhaul; whereas

The 'Removal & Refit' Fork Service encompasses all the abovementioned provisions but caters to the customer that would like Setup Engineering to remove and refit the forks during the service.

'Stand Alone' Fork Service £148.00 + VAT
'Removal & Refit' Fork Service from £196.00 + VAT

3. Full Setup

This service is similar to the Setup although it also includes significant extras such as rebuilding the rear shock absorber as well as the front fork internals to deliver a vastly superior ride. Again, customers are invited to be present at the Setup session and to receive tuition.

Prices depend on the customer's choice of OEM Componentry and the detail to the service applied.

All Setup customers leave with a 'Setup Spec. Sheet' detailing the 'before & after' changes that have been made to their componentry and Shawn Taylor Racing stickers.

4. Shock Service

As with the Fork Service, the Shock Service is designed for the customer in need of a quick once-over of their shock and internals. Again the service makes for the same provisions as with the Fork Service as well as their adjustments being reset to 'as found' customer specification.

Prices depend on the customer's choice of OEM Componentry and the detail to the service applied.
