Finally made it down to the top girls and guys down in Bookham (near Box Hill), Surrey to have my Ohlins front fork cartridges fitted that I bought last year.
Nice chat with Sarah Jordan as Steve fitted the parts, complicated by the fact that the cartridge unit was from a later model of GSXR, so Steve had to modify it slightly with Ohlins extra parts.
He also fitted Ktech rebound adjusters as my standard Kayaba units were no longer compatible with this set up.
Result? Had one of the best rides back along some twisty roads. The suspension is so compliant now. The front end so stable and gives loads more confidence. The braking feels even better now also.
If you ever get to upgrade the suspension on your bike with a re-valve, cartridge kit or quality forks, it really makes a huge difference.
Steve and Sarah also gave me some good ideas to dial in the suspension to work with the Metzler Interacts I’ll (probably) be running next year.
Brilliant and friendly service as always…Which is why I make the 80 mile round trip out to see these guys when I need the bike setting up.
Cheers.
