Suspension Setup Service - SV650.org

Any places round here that do a suspension setup service?

The suspension on my blade seems all wrong and I don't really know what I am doing.

A search on Google only seems to find places up north.

Get yourself down to Mallory Park when they do a track day, there is usually a suspension specialist set up there ready to take £40 from you in exchange for his services for the rest of the day, you dont have to do the track day just get him to set it up and go ride around the roads that surround mallory park until you are satisfied, if not go back and explain how you find it and they change them for you again.
Saying that I should really get mine done too.

Is this the fella?

Have you used him before is it worth calling to book?

I have seen that page Stretchie but it's all greek to me.

I was out yesterday and nearly had a bit of a tank slapper when accelerating out of a bend so would like someone who knows what they are doing to set it up properly.

Know its a long trip for you, but these guys come highly recommended. FAST bikes and other mags take their project bikes here to get them set up

Maybe you could book yourself in for a specific day?

£85!!! Seems a but steep.

If you had a big tank slapper and trashed your bike, how much would that cost to fix?

You say you don't know what you're doing, so I'd say it was £85 well spent.

They're not just going to spend 5 minutes setting it up.

Ring them up and ask what you get for your £85. Its not going to cost you much to call them is it?

Like I said they are HIGHLY recommended.

L3nny · 29-03-10, 04:17 PM

True, I'll give them a call and see what they say.

Cheers

That's the fella yes. I haven't used them yet but I will be doing so.

£85 is extortionate for a set-up, I have never paid more than £45 and I have never been disappointed.

Does anyone else have any recommendations for the OP, a little closer to Warwick?
