Getting annoyed now. Too many half cocked jobs coming through the workshop - it’s got to stop!

Over the past few weeks we have been asked to do certain service work that had been done before but to a poor standard or not at all! This has got to stop. Let’s take a look at two of this weeks shock services.

Suppose with stuff like shocks it’s easy to get away with it as as a customer it’s hard to verify what a shop did and whether they did it properly. I’d have to strip the shock myself to see what’s been changed. With forks that’s easier but I’m still not likely to take my forks apart to check condition of bushings, etc. when I just paid a shop to service them. Same reason I went to you guys to get my valves checked. You came highly recommended from a personal connection and have tons of great reviews - and did a great job! But any standard garage it’s too easy to just say ‘oh yeah they were in spec’ and save half a day’s work but still charge for it. (I also appreciated that you actually had a sheet with the valve measurements you took written down which I doubt most shops would have, which again just provided added confidence). Aside, I actually need a fork service on my Striple later this year - I’ll drop you an email in due course to get booked in.

I agree with what you're saying, but how do you 'be careful'? I don't think they'll allow me into the workshop to watch them working on my shock. I recently serviced the closed cartridge forks on my bike. Its not that difficult, once you have the tools.

I´m suprised for all that wear of those internal shock parts. I thought that they last longer. Good video.

Can't believe bits wearing that quick. That's mad!. As u say, probably poor oem parts. 😮 And highlights a lot of cowboy dealers.😢

@@matthewjackson3034 sad but true. The KTM shock was a bit…. Er…. Shocking to see that wear. And it hadn’t had ridiculous use from what we were told.

Can you guys service original equipment rear shocks? E.G. 2003 Yamaha R6?

[@parkittdynoandsuspension]

@@mickl8212 yes we can
