Services
Rebuilds
In order to keep your suspension in good shape a suspension rebuild is recommended after every 20-30 hours of riding depending on the type of riding you do. Past this point you could experience loss of dampening and extra wear on the internal parts. Professional racing requires a rebuild after 10 hours of riding. Rebuild maintenance will keep your ride consistent and help to eliminate excessive wear of component items such as shock body and shock shaft.
Fork Rebuild
This includes disassembly, complete cleaning, we polish your fork tubes, we inspect and measure the service limits of parts and replace fork suspension fluid and set oil level in forks. Worn parts are replaced, fatigued valving is replaced in stock configurations (standard settings are retained and front fork is reassembled using genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer parts).
Shock Rebuild
This includes disassembly, complete cleaning, we polish your shock shaft, we inspect and measure the service limits of parts, and replace shock suspension fluid and set nitrogen pressure. Worn parts are replaced, fatigued valving is replaced in stock configuration (standard valving configurations are retained). The shock is then reassembled using genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer parts; these may include oil seal, seal case o-ring, shaft bushing, piston ring and o-ring. Fatigued valving is replaced in compression and rebound stacks.
Revalve
Stock suspension is rarely set-up for your unique height, weight, skill level and type of riding. Whether you ride supercross, arenacross, motocross, supermoto, desert, GNCC, trail, enduro or hare scrambles, you are not getting the most performance out of your suspension unless it is set-up for the type of riding you do.
The wrong set-up results in either too harsh a ride or constant bottoming with unpredictability, less traction and cornering ability, lack of control and confidence in your bike.
This service includes all the work involved in a rebuild. Additionally we modify the internal dampening features to give you a customized set-up for your individual weight, ability, riding style and type of terrain encountered. Because our settings are individualized your support does not end at the time of delivery. We will work with you to make your revalve optimum for you with unlimited phone support and rework if needed.
REAR SHOCK REVALVE
The rear shock is completely disassembled, cleaned, and inspected. Worn parts are replaced, then modifications to the dampening system are done based on your weight, ability, riding style and type of riding you do. The rear shock is reassembled using genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts and Maxima Racing Oil.
FRONT FORK REVALVE
The front fork is completely disassembled, cleaned and inspected. Worn parts are replaced, then modifications to the damping system are done based on your weight, ability, riding style and type of riding you do. The front fork is reassembled using genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts and Maxima Racing Oil.
Diamond Kit
RG3 recognized the need for a higher quality suspension kit than what is currently available on stock production bikes. Factory “Kit” suspension that the pro Factory teams use is very difficult to obtain, and can be very expensive. With this in mind, RG3 developed its “Diamond Kit,” suspension package, which modifies your existing forks and shock, and is a very cost effective alternative to factory a-kit.
The RG3 Diamond Kit is a major improvement over the stock suspension in the following areas:
-Improved feel for the terrain
-Greatly improved resistance to wear and fade
-A Factory feel (tight and consistent) due to improved friction control, which allows for valving to be more exact which gives an even smoother feel
Factory level suspension for the serious rider, we understand that suspension is a key component to winning a championship so that is why we offer RG3’s A-Kit. A-Kit is factory suspension that pro teams use and are more tunable than regular stock suspension.RG3’s A-Kit is a totally different set of forks and shock for your bike. Your stock forks and shock are replaced with a set of 49mm forks and a more complex shock that come with DLC and Kashima coating for a better reduction in friction and more protection.
Additionally, you receive all the benefits of an RG3 suspension revalve such as a plusher more progressive feel, custom setup for your needs, improved traction and predictability, greater resistance to bottoming, etc.
The Diamond Kit got its name from the most exotic, performance enhancing coating known to the suspension world today. DLC or Diamond-Like-Carbon coating is harder, slicker and more durable than Titanium Nitride as well as standard hard chrome. It is intended for the inner fork tube and shock shaft.
We take your existing forks and shock and bring them to a Factory Works level. We start by Electro-forming the DLC Coating to the lower fork legs and shock shaft. DLC is very different than the Ti-Nitride seen on other bikes. DLC has drastically reduced friction compared to stock chrome and Ti-Nitride coatings and will last as long as your forks and shocks will hold up. It can be seen on almost every race bike from Chad Reed’s to James Stewart’s. You also get to pick the custom anodizing of the upper fork tubes, shock housing, bladder cap and an assortment of other suspension components.
Included in this overhaul is our Smart Valve, which we install into your forks. Our Smart Valve works like a smart part and flows the proper amounts of fork fluid for the speed at which your fork is traveling. The result is a fork that holds up in the stroke when needed, yet settles into ruts and cures harsh deflection at high speed. Then the same suspension techs that work on all of our factory bikes custom valve your suspension for your exact weight, ability, and riding conditions.
Also included in the Diamond Kit are hard anodized aluminum preload rings.
Whether you ride supercross, arenacross, motocross, supermoto, desert, GNCC, trail, enduro or hare scrambles, the RG3 Diamond Kit will greatly enhance your suspension’s performance.
Our full suspension overhaul including Diamond-like carbon coating, hard anodizing and full customized revalving gives you the most exotic, performance enhancing kit suspension available in the world today.
