Motorcycle Fork Damping Valving Upgrade Kits

When most riders talk performance the first thing they think of is POWER - but if you're smart, that's the last on the list. Shoving grunt into a chassis that can't cope builds a scary bucking bronco. First steps are basics - make sure your bike is properly maintained, clean, no leaks, fresh oil, good clutch setup. Remove any extra weight. Fit grippy tyres. You've got the perfect starting point! Quality suspension comes next & Teknik Motorsport are motorcycle suspension tuning experts.

Stock fork legs are engineered to a cost, so sports & offroad bike manufacturers often cut corners with factory compression & rebound damping parts & their adjustability. These complete aftermarket re-valving options have been developed to fix those performance deficits. Durability & reliability of the internal components is better than OEM, designed for rougher terrain & harder racing. Customize your existing pair of front forks to be the high quality suspension units you want.

Teknik Motorsport have also spent years precision dyno testing similar upgraded piston with comp & reb valve shim stack sets called T-Valve Kits. They give smooth consistent & balanced responses when you're pushing traction to it's limits - no more random bouncing pogo sticks! For professional DIY tuners we sell the improved replacement damper pistons separately - our special fine tuned parts have oil flow modifications for control & plush comfortable feel.

Watching racing videos, do the winners look like they're being kicked around? That circuit star can lean further, without braking dive, sailing over cornering bumps that push you off line. That motocross hero hooks up on loosest dirt, turns quicker after landing jumps, floats over whoops that rattle you roughly. Are they more skilled? Maybe. But their motorbike is predictable & controlled, giving confidence to push grip further & time to concentrate on faster laps.

Tuned suspensions aren't just for the track though. Riding on potholed tarmac or offroad trail adventures improves too - a smooth ride, comfortable saddle no longer absorbing corrugations & vibration, longer endurance. Keeping safe tyre contact with the road under all conditions gives more grip & acceleration.

So now you've built up some skills & experienced riding a competent bike, how about setting up your gearing for better lap times & ridability? You're finally ready to turn up the wick with a screaming tuned engine & a blasting aftermarket muffler - but have a think about it first.
