Motorcycle Fork T-Valve Tuned Piston & Shim 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. Teknik Motorsport have spent years developing & dyno testing upgraded piston & valve shim stack sets to fill in those performance gaps and we call these groups T-Valves. The complete precision kits give smooth, consistent & predictable responses when you're pushing traction to it's limits. No more rough & random bouncing pogo sticks! These components fine tune your existing pair of front forks so they work like the high quality suspension units they could have always been.

For professional DIY tuners we sell our improved replacement damper pistons separately - our tuned internal parts are more durable & reliable than OEM, with oil flow modifications for better control & plush comfortable feel. We also offer more aftermarket fork re-valving options to customize other bikes.

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 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.
