Fork Service
The fork is the suspension at the front of your motorcycle. If you notice grime or fluid around your forks, it’s likely that the fork seals need to be replaced. This service involves the removal of your front wheel, mudguard, and forks. We will then disassemble and inspect all its parts and replace and repair them where necessary. We recommend a fork service every 6 months if the bike is used frequently. See below for this service.
We aim to make this service as easy as possible. You can either bring your bike or loose suspension to our workshop as we have the facility to accommodate all makes and models both on-road and off-road. For loose suspension please speak to a member of staff and we will arrange a collection. Easy and stress-free.
