showa shock service
 

anyone know where i can get my rear showa shock serviced ? its sprung a leak :(
thanks all

uncle p! not sure it can be,

nelly shazzam or someone enlighten me please

Mine was, I got it serviced at HM Racing in Kent. A bit far from you though ...

Was this caused when you were bumped up the rear?

Tony, did they just service it or was it "fiddled" with too? How much did it set you back?

no mate, its been like it for a while now...

I had the suspension set up at the same time. I sat on it in my leathers and they measured it up etc, ended up having the rear spring replaced.

As for the price, it was around £200 or so, having the front and rear setup, the rear shock serviced and a new spring for the rear.

And it made a noticable difference?

Absolutely, but then my rear shock was leaking oil ...

I felt like the front was pushing all the time and that was a combination of tyre wear and the forks being too hard etc. I was really disappointed with the handling of a 996 to the point where I was considering shopping it ...

I'm glad I didn't, it's so stable and confidence inspiring now.

Maxton serviced my Showa a few years back. I think it was around £50 ish.

Buy a Maxton or Ohlins!

I have a friend who does mine. He used run a bike shop, Ohlins trained, franchised by K-tech. Does it on the side now as a hobby so he won't rip you off. Bit of a find really.

Great info Rik, well done.

Tony, did HM Racing do any work on the Front Showa's or did they just make adjustments to the forks ?

Just a setup, no service or anything like that.

cheers, will give him a call :)
