Motorcycle Shock Piston Low Friction Ring Conversions

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 coilovers are engineered to a cost, so sports & offroad bike manufacturers often cut corners with compression & rebound damping components & their adjustability. Inside many rear shock absorbers are damping pistons using soft PTFE bands; they're cheap & seal well, but wear quickly, with high friction. These aftermarket bushing conversions swap in a teflon coated durable metal collar bush & reliable sealing o-rings, giving a longer service life. This modification also means smooth consistent responses without any jerky 'stiction', so comp & reb clicker adjustments feel clearer for fine tuning, valving shim changes become more precise.

You should consider our upgrade options for gas bladder reservoirs & caps while you're servicing your existing factory piggyback shocks - these high quality replacement performance parts increase nitrogen volume inside the damper for improved plushness, comfort, handling & traction on any terrain.
