Revs Racing Services

I just want to share my experience with Revs Racing Services I have used them twice, on my FZ6 they supplied & fitted new springs, seals & changed the oil to my front forks & they also supplied & fitted a new Wilbers type 640 mono shock, & last week on my Fireblade they supplied & fitted new springs, seals & changed the oil to my front forks & they also supplied & fitted a new Wilbers type 641 mono shock, on both bikes they asked the type of riding & my body weight, so they can determine the correct fork oil & springs for the forks & shock. After they had fitted the new parts & set the bike up for me the difference is truly amazing, both bikes handle so much better than they did & that in turn has given me more confidence in the bike. The service at Revs is also a great experience both John & Nick are down to earth very friendly & they never seem to be in a rush. If are looking to have a Suspension up grade give them a try. http://www.revsracing.co.uk/aboutus.php

Do you not think it would be better to spend that money doing track days & setting the bike up yourself ? Seems a lot of money to me but then I am low rent.

It's a lot of money but you're paying for a personalised service and suspension components are never cheap (especially the new rear shock, check the price of an ohlins and £859 doesn't seem so bad!).

It is a lot of money but the difference in the bike is worth it, I wouldn't want to set the bike up myself I think some jobs are better left to people that know what they are doing & Suspension is one of them, I have not done a Track Day yet but I intend doing some next year now the bike is set up.

I didn't factor in the cost of the shock.

O.P.
You need to get to a track even if you don't take your bike, There is Untold to learn/pick up in the pits, It's all open & people will chat for hours about bikes/setting up etc
Good luck to ya anyways & keep us informed.
