Motorcycle Factory Racing Kit Suspension Upgrade Parts

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.

Suspension's biggest racing departments, Kayaba & Showa, develop extra special parts & then hand assemble them into proven forks & shocks that are tuned for your favourite stadium ripping MX star or top enduro racer. Offroad podiums everywhere feature teams using factory kit suspensions front & rear.

These are the individual premium internal components used inside those fork leg pairs & shock absorbers. Upgrade or rebuild your suspension with these parts featuring exotic extra-hard low-friction coatings like Kashima, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and Rainbow Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) to get the most accurate damping with the least wear. Consider mounting your fork legs with adjustable triple clamps too; you can fine tune your steering just as easily as your adjustable suspension for rider comfort & track control.

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.
