[couchcommando]

good idea run the bike in a few races then ill come back to you lot about things

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.

well its going in for a full service at ducati leeds will they check the suspension or should i ask them to do it as well

[Chris Wood]

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.

[antonye]

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

[twpd]

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.
