Fork Re-Valve
$225 ALL models ’00-’08 (except below)
$245 ’07 SXF & ‘08 XCF,SXF
Prices include labor, valving parts, and fluids
Prices do not include springs or rebuild parts
(Add $66 to the re-valve price to include oil seals and labor)
The WP fork has harsh valving and incorrect spring rates for most riders. This creates harsh action when riding on rocks, roots, and square edged bumps, insufficient bottoming resistance on the big hits, vague steering and tracking, head shake, and instability. After consulting with you, I modify the internal damping circuits and adjust spring rates to match your weight, ability, riding style, and type of terrain encountered.
Fork Seal Change/Re-build
$168 All models (except below)
$188 ’07 SXF & ’08 XCF,SXF
Re-build includes:
- Oil Seals
- Disassemble
- Clean & inspect all internals
- Polish fork tubes
- Cartridge fork fluid
- Labor
- Replace worn parts
- Re-assemble w/quality fluid
- 60 day warranty (Shock Sox or Seal Savers must be installed)
Shock Sox/Seal Savers are highly recommended for all KTM forks
Shock Re-Valve
$225
The WP shock suffers from harsh high speed compression valving and soft spring rates. This creates poor straight line stability and cornering, kicking, low ride height, and insufficient bottoming resistance. The spring rate needs to be adjusted for most riders and the internal valving settings should be corrected. After consulting with you, I modify the internal damping circuits and adjust the spring rate to match your weight, ability, riding style, and type of terrain in which you may encounter. Note: Progressive rate shock springs are used for all off-road applications.
Shock Rebuild
$170
Rebuild includes:
- Disassemble
- Shaft oil seal
- Shock fluid
- Nitrogen
- Clean & inspect all parts
- Replace other worn parts (parts not included)
- Re-assemble & re-charge with nitrogen
Fork or Shock Height/Travel Reduction
$Please call for pricing.
Many of today’s motorcycles are too tall for the average rider and can be overwhelming for riders with inseams of 30 inches or less. Reducing the ride height 1 to 2 inches makes it much easier to navigate technical sections, reduces low speed tip-overs, and greatly increases rider confidence.
The travel reduction modification involves the installation of travel limiting spacers, (so that the fork or shock shaft extends to a reduced position) installing shorter fork springs (except ’07 SX and ’08 SX,XC), and re-valving to match the reduced travel and your riding conditions.
The travel reduction can be reversed back to full travel for approximately half of the original cost.
Travel reduction is recommended for trail riding, enduros, and motard. It is NOT offered for motocross or high speed desert.
