The Crucial Need for Motorcycle Suspension Service

Your motorcycle’s suspension is often overlooked, but it plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth ride. Unlike engines, shocks lack filters, making regular service essential.

Suspension components have a finite lifespan measured in cycles . With each stroke of travel, polished surfaces accumulate microscopic debris, contaminating the oil and compromising performance. Neglecting service diminishes the suspension’s ability to dampen force.

Tractive suspension recommends servicing street motorcycle suspensions every 20,000 to 25,000 miles and track/race bike suspensions every 10-20 track hours. Regular maintenance preserves your investment’s peak performance, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable ride.
