Fork Service

FORK REVALVE - KTM / YAMAHA / HONDA / KAWASAKI / SUZUKI / BMW / HUSKY / BETA / HUSABERG

Forks are completely disassembled, cleaned and revalved to match your terrain and skill level. The correct springs and rebound valving are installed for your weight and filled with industry-leading oil to the optimum height. No matter what you ride, we have proven/tested settings that are guaranteed to keep you satisfied. Beware of pretenders, trust Dicks Racing to deliver results you can count on. Does not include rebuild ($45 extra + parts)

$195 + Parts (oil, springs if req.)

KTM / WP Forks (00-11 all open chamber forks)  REVALVE + HFP(high flow pistons)

This option (#2) includes everything in the standard revalve, plus high flow compression pistons that provide a level of plushness not possible with the stock pistons. In addition, these pistons allow for stiffer valving to help keep the forks from blowing through the stroke and bottoming. The standard revalve is good, this option is better.

KTM / WP Forks (00-11 all open chamber forks)  -  APS FORK MODS (Advanced Progressive System)

This option (#3) labeled "APS" is a completely different design than current systems being used. The name refers to Advanced Progressive System which allows for multiple rates of compression damping. Super plush initial travel, yet gradually stiffer through the stroke with incredible resistance to bottoming. Of the 3 options for KTM open chamber forks, this set-up has the most range and does everything well. The end result is superior performance that utilizes three separate compression adjusters (low, mid and high) and one rebound adjuster. This is the choice of serious trail riders and racers alike. Standard Revalve is Good, Revalve with HFP pistons is Better, APS is Best.

KTM / Closed Chamber Forks - (07sx/sxf) (08-11 sx/sxf/ xc/xcf) - REVALVE + HFP (high flow pistons)

This option (#2) is designed exclusively for the closed chamber forks. The result of countless hours of testing, you can expect the ultimate in performance. Includes complete revalving of internals along with custom made high flow pistons (HFP) that meter the perfect amount of oil. This set-up works great for those that ride WORCS type events, MX, or terrain with jumps/g-outs.

KTM / Closed Chamber Forks - (07 sx/sxf) (08-11 sx/sxf/ xc/xcf) - REVALVE + FBS (free bleed system)

This option (#3) utilizes the FBS (free bleed system) which works great for true off-road conditions. This set-up includes high flow compression pistons, complete revalving, FBS mods, and bladder refill to the proper setting. Ridiculous amounts of testing went into these mods to insure the best possible results. Please keep in mind that forks and shock need to work together and should be modified at the same time if possible.

Fork Rebuild

This is a separate service from revalving. Rebuilding involves replacing leaking seals, worn out bushings and repairing damaged tubes.

$45 + Parts when done with above modifications / $95 + Parts (rebuild only)

$45.00 - 95.00 +Parts

DLC Coated Fork Tubes

The final step to high performance suspension mods. Diamond like coating applied to make fork action more responsive. Also makes tubes extremely scatch resistant, making seals last much longer.

Shock Service

SHOCK REVALVE - KTM / Yamaha / Honda / Kawasaki / Suzuki / Husaberg / Husky / BMW / Beta

 

 When it comes to making your shock work better, trust Dicks Racing to do it right the first time. We have over 30 years of experience and do the testing required to achieve the best possible results. Your shock is taken apart, cleaned and revalved for your terrain and skill level. The correct spring rate is determined and matched rebound valving is installed. All air is removed from the system, which is absolutely critical for consistent/correct performance, and then pressurized with nitrogen to proper specs.

SUSPENSION LOWERING SERVICE - All Brands

For those who are verticaly challenged, Dicks Racing has the answer. Shortened suspension. As expected, we do it right. Special Travel limiting spacers are installed in your forks and shock, complete revalve service is performed, springs are shortened, and then reassembled with fresh oil. The most common height reductions are (1") (1-1/2") ( 2"). The reduction can be reversed when it comes time to sell it, no problem.

$495.00 + oil

Anti Fade Shock Reservoir

Be cool. If you are experiencing shock fade, this is the answer. Converts the stock piston set-up to a bladder with finned reservoir. This upgrade drastically reduces heat by eliminating the piston movement inside the stock reservoir. If you are racing/riding for more than 30 minutes at a time, more than likely your shock is overheating and losing damping. Available when sending your shock in for modification or service. Fits all KTM shocks from 2003-2010.

$199 installed

Shock Spring Thrust Bearing

When a spring is initially compressed it's tendency is to twist, this piece lets that happen, resulting in smoother action. Can be used on top of the spring or in some cases on both ends.

Shock Rebuild

A seperate service from revalving. All wear items are replaced and carefully reassembled. $25 + Parts with revalve service / $125 + Parts (rebuild only)

Suspension Setup Tips

Static Sag
(The amount the rear of the bike drops on its own weight) should be between .75" - 1.5"

Rider Sag
With the above in that range, the rider sag should be 4" + or - .5"

Fastening
Make sure not to get the right fork in a bind where it clamps to the axle. It will cause the forks to not work smoothly.

Air
Release built-up pressure in the forks after every ride.

Maintenance
Shock oil should be changed by Dicks Racing every 25 hours
