Welcome to Marshall’s Racing, if your having second thoughts of having your suspension revalved we will try to explain the differences from stock to a Marshall’s revalved components.If you have any questions feel free to view our testimonials page. We spend many hours of testing our suspension on various track conditions and terrians. We offer settings ranging from MX, SX, AX, to woods and enduro riding. We are continuously testing our settings and if at any time come up with a different setting that works better we will update your currently valved setting for free. You should enjoy a plush and more enjoyable ride after having your suspension revalved, and also should see more consistent and improved lap times. We say you should go faster and last longer in your races.
Keeping your suspension serviced at regular intervals drastically improves the performance of your motorcycle,s handling which improves your results. We suggest having your fluids changed regularly and serviced at least once a year (serious racers should change oil in shock and fork every 20-25 hours, and have both components serviced every 40-45 hrs.). We also suggest that you have your suspension serviced by a trained Suspension Technician as with the evolution of today’s suspension, it has become very sophisticated and hard to work on without any experience. It might seem a little expensive to have it done by a trained technician but much cheaper if done wrong, because of improper assembly causing a parts failure. This can also lead to a ill handling motorcycle. Also a good tip is to keep all suspension components clean, when washing your motorcycle lift up on shock bump rubber and wash under it, this will help prevent dirt entering the seal head area of your shock. It is also a good habit to lay your bike on its side and wash the underside of your forks and behind the fork guards.
If you follow all the guidlines your suspension should be maintenance free, one thing to remember is fork seal failure is usually caused by dirt entering through the dust wiper seal and then works it way into the main oil seal. If you see this or any oil leaking please have suspension serviced so the dirt does not enter into the internal components, this could wear all parts internally and become very expensive. Forks seals will usually go out in adverse riding conditions like mud or sand. Marshall’s will stand behind our service or rebuild of forks for a short period if suspension has been well maintained and not ridden under adverse conditions.
Good Luck and Hope to see you at a race soon.
