“Why Suspension Service Is So Important”

• Oil in your shocks is similar to the oil in your car. There is a moving piston, which causes oil breakdown. The oil breakdown causes a fade sensation in the shock and therefore an oil change is necessary.
  
• Oil in your shock is also sensitive to the constant heating and cooling that it goes through. This heating and cooling of your shock also causes breakdown in the oil.
  
• Although your shock piston does not have rings it does have a piston band which wears similar to the piston rings in your motorcycle. With the wearing of the band you will have a loss in dampening which can cause heavy wear on your bumper and internal shock body
  
• Shock bumper is very important to have in good condition. The use of the bumper helps the shock from bottoming out and the shock going metal to metal. With a bumper non existent it could cause heavy wear on the shock that is not necessary, this wear can cause you to have to purchase a new shock
  
• The seal in your shock is very sensitive; with constant abrasives on the shock shaft traveling up and down the seal takes a heavy beating.
  
• Covering the shock shaft is important due to the pitting of the shaft (if you follow people when you ride) the shaft has to keep a constant seal from the outside of the shock to the inside, therefore keeping the shaft as clean as possible is a wise idea
  
• Extensive wear on the shock and on the oil can cause serious damage to your complete shock. This is why service is so important and cannot be overlooked. The cost of a service is fairly inexpensive compared to the cost of a new shock.
