Might be worth asking some suspension people - I'm sure they'll be able to give you an idea just over the phone.

If you're not sure what it's like now, then I would really recommend you at least get the forks and shock serviced before racing as they could all be knackered and that means dangerous.

Look up, K Tech.

They will do the front and rear bouncy bits, just of the M1 north of Nottingham I think from memory.

They did ours last year, refresh, oil seals and springs front and rear, about £200, talk them through what you want and your bike, weight, use etc...

VERY good service, hughly recommended.

Do Ducati Leeds have suspension experts? That's the question you should be asking yourself...

Well if you specifically tell them you are racing the bike and that you want the suspension overhauling then I'm sure they will do it...at a price. They seem to be decent peeps with a good rep.

K-tech are good but the forks really are simple and it's only a few minute job to change seals and oil saving you lots of £££
